Green charging rises as EV network expands
Green charging stations accounted for nearly 60 percent of electricity consumption in Türkiye’s electric vehicle (EV) charging network in April, according to the Energy Market Regulatory Authority’s (EPDK) monthly report.
Electricity consumption at charging stations reached 61.65 million kilowatt-hours in April. Of this, 36.98 million kilowatt-hours — equivalent to 59.98 percent — was supplied by green charging stations certified to use renewable energy sources.
The remaining 24.67 million kilowatt-hours of electricity consumption was met by conventional charging stations. Green charging stations, which hold Renewable Energy Guarantee Certificates (YEK-G), are seen as playing a key role in reducing the carbon footprint of electric vehicles and promoting the use of clean energy.
The total installed capacity of charging stations rose by 3.29 percent month-on-month to 3,295 megawatts in April, reflecting continued expansion in the country’s EV infrastructure.
