Increasing the number of charging stations is critical for electric vehicles to become widespread. While there are many people who sell or give up on buying their electric vehicles due to charging problems, legal regulations are being made to improve the process. In this context, the Charging Service Regulation, prepared by the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EMRA), was published in the Official Gazette dated April 2, 2022.
Those who want to open a charging station in the next period must obtain a charging network operator license. This license, granted by EMRA, cannot be transferred in any way. In order to have this license, the conditions set by EMRA must be fulfilled and an application must be submitted with the documents.
