EV & Charging Infrastructure
GlobalB Law advises charge-point operators, e-mobility providers, site hosts and investors on EV charging licensing, station certification and infrastructure deals under Türkiye's EPDK regime.
The shift to electric vehicles has created a new, regulated market for charging, and getting the licensing and contracts right is what separates a scalable network from a stranded asset. GlobalB Law advises charging-network operators, charge-point operators (CPOs), e-mobility service providers (eMSPs), site hosts and infrastructure investors across the build-out.
In Türkiye, the Energy Market Regulatory Authority (EPDK) Charging Service Regulation (Şarj Hizmeti Yönetmeliği) introduced a charging-network operator licence (şarj ağı işletmeci lisansı), certificates for individual charging stations, and rules on tariffs, transparency and interoperability. We handle the licence application, station certification, network and reseller agreements, and ongoing EPDK compliance.
Around the regulated core sit the commercial and real-estate deals that make a network work, site and landlord agreements, electricity supply and grid-connection, roaming between networks, and consumer payment terms, plus EV-related investment incentives. For operators active in Europe we align the structure with the EU Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR).

پرسشهای متداول
پرسشهای پرتکرار
Do I need a licence to operate EV charging stations in Türkiye?
Yes. Under EPDK's Charging Service Regulation a charging-network operator licence (şarj ağı işletmeci lisansı) is required to run a charging network, and the individual stations in the network must obtain a charging-station certificate. We manage the EPDK licence application and the certification of each station.
Can a shopping mall or business host chargers without a licence?
Yes, as a site host. A property owner can make its premises available to a licensed charging-network operator without itself holding the operator licence, because the operator is the regulated party. If the host wants to provide the charging service in its own name, it needs the licence. We structure the host-operator relationship to fit the chosen model.
Are EV charging tariffs regulated?
The Charging Service Regulation sets the framework for tariffs, price transparency and interoperability so that users can charge across different networks. Operators set their prices within that framework but must meet disclosure and roaming requirements. We advise on tariff design and roaming terms that stay compliant.
How does Turkish charging law relate to the EU?
Türkiye's regime broadly tracks the direction of EU policy, including the coverage, payment and interoperability goals of the EU Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR). For operators active in both markets, we align contracts and technical compliance so a single network can satisfy both regimes.
