Sharz.net is known for providing infrastructure to many charging operators in our country and having one of the most widespread charging networks in Turkey with 250 charging points. The company made some remarkable predictions about electric vehicles. He announced that 894 electric cars were sold in the first 6 months of 2021, including the cars sold through the gray market, and that there are approximately 6 thousand electric vehicles registered to the traffic in our country.
Sharz.net General Coordinator Ayşe Ece Şengönül stated that the electric vehicle population will increase with a strong acceleration. The full text of Şengönül’s statement is as follows:
“Compared to Europe, our number of electric vehicles is still very small and does not create a presence effect for now. However, by 2023, all automobile manufacturers will expand their electric car mass production lines by restricting diesel-powered vehicle mass production lines. As of this year, which is the turning point, 2-3 times more electric cars will be sold every year compared to the previous year. Like push-button telephones and tube televisions, internal combustion engines will soon disappear from our lives. The electric future is closer than we think.”
The best-selling electric vehicles have been revealed
CleanTechnica published a report on the best-selling electric vehicle models in August.
Premium models increase interest in electric
Şengönül, the General Coordinator of the company, said that the interest in electric vehicles 10 years ago was very low due to the usage habits of consumers. On the other hand, he emphasized that he started his electric car adventure with models such as Renault Fluence ZE, Renault Zoe, BMW i3 and Tesla and said:
“With the Turkish sales of premium segment brands, the interest in electric cars has started to gain a serious dimension in the last 2 years. The high performance of models such as Jaguar I-PACE, Porsche Taycan, Mercedes EQC, BMW iX3 managed to impress the owners of gasoline and diesel vehicles.
Gasoline and diesel vehicle owners are eagerly waiting for different brands and models of electric vehicles to be offered for sale. Today, there are an average of 1500 charging stations in total in Turkey, and fast charging unit installations continue rapidly on intercity roads. The number of charging stations will increase in direct proportion to the number of electric vehicles in the coming years, and with the use of fleets and the inclusion of electric light commercial vehicles in the market, electrification will be an inevitable part of our lives.”
