If All Cars in Turkey Are “Togg”, Is Electricity Enough?

Electric vehicles are shaping the transportation of the future and they are finally sustainable and more environmentally friendly key technologies that deliver an automobile experience. Traditional to internal combustion engines Unlike vehicles with electric vehicles, electric vehicles are powered by electricity and zero emissions These vehicles, which are an environmentally friendly option with their principle, also provide a quiet and fast driving experience thanks to their powerful batteries and electric motors.

The number of electric vehicles on the streets of Türkiye is increasing day by day. This is good news. However, these tools their energies Let’s see how it’s done.

When you return home at the end of the day, to the power station You have to charge it with electricity.

However, the amount of electricity required to charge a single vehicle is almost one month electricity usage much. In this case, is it possible that the capacity of the electricity grids of homes and cities will be sufficient in a situation where we assume that everyone uses electric vehicles in the future?

The electrical installations of the houses may be insufficient to charge an electric vehicle.

especially in your home electrical installation If it is old, charging an electric vehicle can overload the system. Load balancing feature Chargers with power supply can prevent power cuts by helping to distribute this load evenly to the electric vehicle and household appliances.

Indoor cable harnesses It is usually single phase. To charge an electric vehicle, wiring harness You may also need to move it to a three-phase system that will allow 22kW of charging.

The amount of energy required to fully charge an electric vehicle can be quite high. Turkey’s current electricity supply capacity is widely It is impossible to meet the use of electric vehicles.

in Turkey today a total of 14 million 269 thousand 352 cars registered to traffic exists. Let’s say that all of these vehicles are converted to electric vehicles, for example, they are all Togg T10X models.

88.5 kW of energy will be required to fill the battery of each vehicle, the amount of energy required for 14 million 269 thousand 352 vehicles 1,262,837,652 megawatts means.

Turkey’s all renewable and fossil energy sources The amount of energy that power plants and power plants can produce together at one time is for the period between 2021-2025. 115,722 megawatts is stated as.

Considering that the electricity we use for all our daily needs in our homes and workplaces is included in this, all the electricity produced Even in a scenario where we mobilize only electric vehicles, we only reach 1/10 of the energy needed.

If electric vehicles become too common, energy companies will definitely need to strengthen their infrastructure.

network capacity to increase and meet the increasing demand. renewable energy sources Using more is a good option. Because solar and wind energies are unlimited resources. Energy companies can strengthen their electricity supply by using more of these resources.

Smart grid technologies can also be used to manage and evenly distribute electricity demand. These technologies demand response tariffs, grid management systems and energy storage systems It includes various methods such as In other words, by determining how much energy should be used for each household, planned distributions can be made accordingly.

Norway is a country that has successfully created the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. This is not the case in Turkey.

One of the successful examples in the world about the charging infrastructure required for electric vehicles. NorwayLet’s look at. The country’s electricity network is largely hydroelectric power stations based on renewable energy sources. This facilitates the creation of a sustainable charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.

However Türkiye‘s electricity network faces some limitations and the use of renewable energy sources is not as widespread as in Norway. Infrastructure deficiencies and Inadequate use of renewable energy sourcesindicates a problematic situation for electric vehicles.

Before starting to see electric vehicles from Edirne to Ardahan, Turkey needs to develop its electricity infrastructure.

The good news is in electricity networks in Turkey. capacity increases and significant progress is being made. More use of renewable energy sources and infrastructure investments It will create a stronger electricity network.

However, it should not be forgotten that the network may remain under a serious load if electric vehicles become widespread. Increasing demand for electric vehicles can strain even an advanced infrastructure and reliability of electricity supply problems may arise.

For this reason, it is thought that the advances in Turkey’s electricity network may one day be widely used in electric vehicles. development and planning is very important.
