Setting out with the slogan of the silent journey of energy, Astor Charge continues to bring a new location together with the energy of nature every day. The company aims to install at least 200 charging stations by the end of the year.
With TOGG's arrival on the roads, the perspective on electric vehicles is changing. Tesla, one of the world brands in the electric vehicle industry, also announced vehicle prices for Türkiye. The importance of charging stations for electric vehicles, where there will be a tight competition, is also increasing.
Astor Charge, a subsidiary of Turkey's leading domestic transformer and switching products manufacturer Astor Energy, continues to take firm steps forward in the sector with its AC and DC type charging stations. Stating that they are among the first companies to obtain a "Charging Network Operator License" in Turkey, Astor Board Member Yusuf Geçgel, “We are a young, fast and dynamic brand. Until the end of 2023, we will establish at least 200 more stations from east to west, from north to south of our country. We have an Astor Charging station target every 200 km. We will bring the energy of nature to all corners of our country.”
Company vehicles converted to electric
Underlining that they continue to work to reset their carbon footprint, late“We supply the electrical energy of the charging stations we set up from renewable energy sources. We are replacing the vehicles in our company with electric vehicles," he said.
We are on the same level as Europe in the transition to electric vehicles
Stating that they aim to become a national brand in the investment of electric vehicle charging stations, late“The European Parliament voted in February to pass a new law banning the sale of petrol and diesel vehicles from 2035. Before the petrol and diesel vehicle ban becomes official, it will go to the Council of Europe for a final vote. The application, which is part of the efforts to combat climate change in the European Union (EU), will accelerate the bloc's transition to electric vehicles. Cars currently account for around 15 percent of all carbon dioxide emissions in the EU. The new regulations require automakers to reduce their carbon emissions from new cars by 100 percent. This means practically no new conventional vehicles running on fossil fuels can be sold from 2035 onwards. I predict that with Turkey's domestic vehicle TOGG, the use of fossil fuels will decrease, and the use of electric vehicles will reach 100 percent on the same dates as the EU," he said.
