Drawing its roadmap with the vision of pioneering the electrification transformation of the Turkish automotive sector, Borusan Otomotiv Group’s mobile application ChargeIQ, which provides access to charging stations from a single point, is live on IOS and Android operating systems. Displaying the locations of all electric vehicle charging stations in Türkiye and the real-time availability status of leading operators from a single point, and allowing transactions and payments with Borusan Otomotiv’s assurance, ChargeIQ also aims to put an end to the confusion on the phones of electric car users.
Stating that they continue to offer innovative services in the sector with the vision of “Being a Pioneer in the Electrification Transformation of the Turkish Automotive Sector”, Borusan Otomotiv CEO Hakan Tiftik said that ChargeIQ will meet one of the most important needs of electric car owners. Stating that there are around 180 brands providing charging services in Türkiye today and that each can be accessed through separate applications, Tiftik said, “We aim to solve this confusion experienced by electric car users with ChargeIQ. Studies show that consumers have an average of 18 applications installed on their phones for charging needs. Thanks to ChargeIQ, it is possible to filter the locations of all service points in 81 provinces of our country and the instant availability of sockets of leading operators, see them on the map, create a route to the selected station and compare tariffs. In addition, the opportunity to pay from a single application, which is one of the greatest expectations of electric car owners, has been put into operation with the assurance of Borusan Otomotiv, and studies are ongoing to increase the number of payment business partners.”
Borusan Otomotiv CEO Hakan Tiftik, who stated that they developed an innovative solution with a supra-brand and sectoral approach, said, “Currently, there are over 220.000 electric vehicles and over 30.000 charging sockets in Türkiye. Considering the current growth trend, it is expected that the number of electric vehicles in our country will reach 2030 million and the total number of sockets will reach 1,2 thousand by 150. In such a rapidly developing market, it is critical to plan charging processes comfortably and safely. Currently, 75 percent of users who download the ChargeIQ application are owners of vehicles other than the brands we represent. Our goal is to be the most preferred mobile application and experience sharing platform for electric vehicle drivers in Türkiye.”
