At least 150 chargers are scheduled to be operational by the end of this year with the remainder to be delivered by February 2024.
Astor Energy chairman Feridun Gecgel said: “The number of electric vehicles in our country is expected to reach 2.5m in 10 years. Along with the electric vehicle transformation, [charging infrastructure creation] is also of great importance.”
