Record increase in electric vehicles! Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK) data released

EMRA's June 2025 report revealed the growth, competition and infrastructure development in the sector.

The growing demand for electric vehicles is also driving a significant transformation in charging infrastructure. The "Charging Service Market Monthly Statistics - June 2025" report, published by the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK), contains critical data ranging from the number of electric vehicles in Türkiye to the distribution of charging points and installed capacity. The report also transparently reveals the competitive landscape within the sector and offers important insights into the future of electric transportation.

The number of electric vehicles exceeded 268,000

As of June 2025, the total number of electric vehicles (EVs) in Türkiye reached 268,057. This figure represents an increase of approximately 44 percent compared to June 2024. Monthly sales figures show an all-time high of 20,729 units in June.

The number of charging points has exceeded 31,000

During the same period, the total number of commercial charging sockets increased to 31,433. Of these, 18,143 are AC (normal charging) and 13,290 are DC (fast charging). This expansion of charging infrastructure across Turkey is critical, especially for long journeys and transportation access outside metropolitan areas.

INSTALLED POWER INCREASES, POWER PER VEHICLE DECREASES

As of the end of June 2025, the total installed capacity of charging stations reached 2,285 MW. However, another striking finding is that the installed capacity per vehicle has decreased to 8.53 kW. This suggests that despite the increase in the number of electric vehicles, the charging infrastructure is not scaling at the same pace.

INTENSIVE COMPETITION IN THE MARKET

Another key point in the report is the distribution of market shares among charging network operators. Among the top 10 companies, the highest market share was 16.6%, measured by the HHI (Herfindahl-Hirschman Index). HHI values below 1,500 indicate that the market remains competitive. This provides a significant advantage for users in terms of both pricing policies and service quality.

CAPACITY PREFERENCES ARE BECOMING CLEAR IN THE CHARGING SOCKET DISTRIBUTION

The breakdown by power output shows that fast charging points in the 23-50 kW and 51-150 kW ranges are becoming increasingly common. Lower-power AC power outlets, such as 1-11 kW, are relatively rare. This table reveals the expansion of infrastructure designed to cater specifically to intercity rather than urban travel.
