SHARZ IN THE PRESS

Partners who teamed up with Sharz.net and 'Şarj Club' have built an extensive charging network!

Sharz, one of Turkey's leading charging operators in electric vehicles, took a big step to accelerate the electrification process and achieve a first in the sector. EVS Electric Vehicle Systems Inc., the company behind Sharz brand, provides service to electric vehicle owners in Turkey with more than 300 electric vehicle charging stations, while sharing technological innovations with its business partners to expand this service to a wider audience. EVS opened its charging technologies to station operators investing in this business, enabling them to share their stations for common use through the establishment of the "Charging Club" with a total of 27 companies, including significant corporations.

Ayşe Ece Şengönül, General Manager of EVS and Sharz.net Project Coordinator, speaking on the matter, said, "Like shared ATMs, we aim to facilitate the lives of electric vehicle owners by pioneering the opening of shared charging stations of brands we collaborate with and provide installation support, allowing electric vehicle owners to easily use all stations across a network of over 1000 stations. We are eliminating an important problem for electric vehicle owners. Today's 60,000 electric vehicle count is preparing for the future as it will easily reach 150,000 this year."

Sharz, which recently announced new investment plans, has undertaken an important project to popularize the use of electric vehicles. Companies obtaining charging station network operation licenses require advanced software to operate charging units centrally and manage payment systems with their customers. Together with the community named "Charging Club," EVS, the charging operator company of Sharz.net, brings together 27 charging network operating companies by providing software and infrastructure support, now enabling consumers to use over 1000 charging stations simultaneously.

Over 1000 stations, like shared ATMs, can be used with the preferred operator's mobile application

Ayşe Ece Şengönül, General Coordinator of Sharz.net, stated, "We want to facilitate the lives of electric vehicle owners by bringing together a large charging network community without a central or overarching structure, similar to the shared ATM concept. Today's 60,000 electric vehicle count is preparing for the new year to easily reach 150,000, so we are already making preparations. Thus, consumers with electric vehicles can use over 1000 charging stations with the mobile application of their preferred charging operator, eliminating the need for many memberships or usage cards."

Ignoring competition as a technology company.

Şengönül stated that they have positioned Sharz.net not just as a charging network operator but now as a technology company, saying, "Our goal is to make our country a prominent player on the world stage and facilitate the lives of electric vehicle owners. In line with these goals, we are preventing investment from going abroad by sharing our infrastructure, charging, and MASTERPASS payment software with all operators, setting competition aside in the industry."

For the past 4 years, Şengönül stated they have been providing infrastructure support for Doğuş Otomotiv's Porsche charging stations, adding, "Our solution partnerships include major energy companies such as Aksa Enerji, Aydem Enerji, Yaşar Holding DESA Enerji, Kayseri Hünnat Enerji, Eksim Holding Dicle Enerji, as well as Migros subsidiary MIGGO, TUVTürk, and Doğuş Otomotiv with D-Charge."
