With the rapid growth of Turkey’s new energy vehicle market, the demand for public fast-charging infrastructure in local cities is constantly increasing. To meet users’ expectations for a “faster, more stable, and more convenient” charging experience, a Turkish energy service provider, in partnership with SCU, has built a DC fast-charging station, injecting new momentum into the electrification of urban transportation.
Background: Turkey Accelerates the Construction of Public Fast-Charging Facilities
To promote a green transformation of transportation, Turkey is vigorously expanding its public EV charging network. However, most older areas have limited power capacity, and EV charging stations need to accommodate multiple vehicle models, high power output, and future scalability, placing higher demands on EV charging infrastructure suppliers.
The client wanted to build a reliable, fast, and low-operating-cost charging station while enhancing market competitiveness and providing continuous high-quality services to electric vehicle owners in the surrounding area.
Client Needs
The client faced the following challenges when building the electric vehicle charging station:
- High-power DC fast charging is required to meet the rapid charging needs of different vehicle models.
- Ensuring long-term stable operation and reducing operating and maintenance costs.
- Improving compatibility and user experience, supporting the mainstream CCS2 protocol.
- Expandable to support more parking spaces and higher power output in the future.
SCU EV Charging Solution: 120kW +180kW CCS Charger
The SCU provides three DC fast charging stations for this station: two 180kW EV chargers and one 120kW EV charger. All equipment adopts the CCS2 standard, featuring high conversion efficiency, intelligent power control, and good environmental adaptability, suitable for public operation scenarios.
Key Functional Highlights:
- Highly Efficient Charging Experience: The 180kW EV charger can quickly replenish the power of new energy vehicles, significantly improving station turnover.
- Wide Compatibility: Supports the CCS2 protocol, suitable for mainstream electric vehicle brands in the Turkish market.
- Convenient Operation and Maintenance, High Reliability: The SCU rapid diagnostic system allows operators to remotely monitor the operating status, improving operational efficiency.
- Future Expansion Support: The modular structure facilitates future expansion to higher power or more parking spaces, reducing long-term investment costs.
Project Outcome: Creating an Efficiently Operated Urban Fast Charging Station
After completion, this project provides convenient and fast DC charging services for local electric vehicle users, significantly improving the charging experience in the surrounding area.
Operational achievements include: Over 50% improvement in charging efficiency, resulting in faster vehicle turnaround; increased user base and revenue; stable equipment operation and significantly reduced maintenance costs; and the charging station becoming a model project for urban electrification in the local area.
Customer Said
The customer highly praised the performance and service of SCU equipment: “SCU’s EV fast charging equipment is reliable, efficient, and highly compatible, providing a solid foundation for us to build high-quality charging stations. Since the project went into operation, user satisfaction has increased significantly, giving us more confidence in future expansion.”
Conclusion: Supporting the Large-Scale Development of Turkey’s Charging Network
SCU will continue to provide high-quality, high-performance DC fast charging solutions to partners in Turkey and globally. From public charging stations and commercial operations to fleet replenishment and integrated charging and storage applications, SCU is committed to promoting global green transportation and providing stable power support for electric mobility.
