Eşarj, the first electric vehicle charging provider in Turkey, is aiming to build 1,000 stations across the country by the end of 2023. The company, which is majority-owned by Enerjisa Energy, plans to invest over 90% of its resources into fast-charging stations, with at least one DC station in each of Turkey’s 81 provinces by the end of this year.
Enerjisa Energy, which was founded in 1996, has the goal of providing the best service in every field of the electric industry and creating innovative solutions. In 2018, the company purchased Eşarj and has since expanded its vehicle charging station network in Turkey through a partnership with fuel distribution company Kadoil.

Eşarj currently operates 383 DC and 163 AC stations in 57 provinces, making it the first charging operator in Turkey with renewable energy certification, contracts with EV brands, and DC charging stations. Its charging stations feature branding from Shell Recharge, ChargeNow, Renault, and other major players in the industry.
According to Murat Pinar, chairperson of Eşarj and CEO of Enerjisa Energy, the company places great importance on the efficient use of time for EV drivers. Eşarj’s priority is to provide DC charging stations and locate its charging stations in areas where customers may spend more time or enjoy themselves during the charging process.

With its focus on innovation and customer experience, Eşarj is well-positioned to meet this demand and play a key role in the country’s transition to a more sustainable transportation system.
