The price of electric vehicle charging stations; It varies depending on whether the station is AC or DC, the number of sockets, the need for energy storage & distribution transformers and the location of the station.
Electric vehicle charging points, which will be the fuel stations of the future, quickly came to the forefront of the agenda with the increase in grants and incentives for establishing a fast charging infrastructure in Turkey. As a result, questions about electric vehicle charging station fees, the prices of AC/DC chargers and the installation costs of these charging systems began to increase rapidly.
The price of electric vehicle charging stations; It varies depending on whether the station is AC or DC, the number of sockets, the need for energy storage & distribution transformers and the location of the station. For example; Three-phase AC charging stations suitable for homes, workplaces and parking lots can be installed at prices starting from 4-5 thousand liras and up to 25-30 thousand liras, depending on the nature of the charging unit. However, DC fast charging station cost, distribution transformer, power board, GSM communication costs, onboard battery, etc., which may be required for installation. together, it can easily exceed 1 million liras.
Charging Station Type | Price range | Installation Cost | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
Household Single Phase 7kW AC Charger | 200-600$ | 0-500₺ | ||
Three Phase 11/22kW AC Charger | 300-1500$ | 500-3000₺ | ||
60 kW DC Charger + Double Socket | 7.500-12.500$ | 15.000-30.000₺ | ||
150+ kW DC Charger | 20.000-80.000$ | 100.000-500.000₺ |
*In the table above, we have brought together the price range of the charging unit/device for four different electric vehicle charging stations and the average installation costs for Turkey. Charging station price information was calculated by examining active advertisements in the US, European and Chinese markets. Installation costs, on the other hand, were transferred by writing the renovation and construction costs as an estimate.
7 kW single phase AC chargers, One provision as the most cost-effective EV charging solution for homes or businesses. Some of these groups can be connected to plug-and-play household sockets, as well as wall-mounted variants that can be connected to the electrical installation with their own separate socket and enclosure.
Three-phase AC charging units, It is among the most preferred charging solutions as it can reach a speed of 22 kW. This type of device, which can be installed in homes and workplaces as well as in public areas such as shopping malls and parking lots, requires special cabling for 380V three-phase electrical connection groups, at least 3x40A triple fuse, industrial socket and wall/floor mounting. According to the prices of these chargers, they range from $ 300 to $ 1,500 abroad. If the example of Turkey is to be given, the price of ZES EVC02 including installation and 20 meters of cable reaches 17 thousand liras.
Price and installation cost in DC charging stations the range is wider. Because many different types of DC charging units are produced and sold. If an example is given over the most common double socket 60 kW DC charging units in Turkey, it will be seen that the cost of the unit starts from 7,500 dollars abroad and goes up to 12,500 dollars. Gersan's solution with similar features is listed on the G-Charge website for 325 thousand liras.
As the charging capacity increases in DC units, the electrical installation investment also increases. In order for DC stations that can reach speeds of 350 kW to serve, there will also be a distribution transformer inside the station. Connecting the transformer, installing the station on the ground and opening the cable ducts, construction costs, parking space arrangements, etc. After many different items, the cost of the all-inclusive installation can be less than 500 thousand liras, or it can exceed 1 million liras for high-capacity units.
The cost of installing a charger for electric vehicles to be charged at home can be settled for 5 thousand liras, including everything, and can exceed 20 thousand liras. Single-phase 16A 220V chargers, which cost 5 thousand liras at best, can be used directly by connecting to household sockets without forcing the existing electrical installation. With such devices, which have an AC charging capacity of 3.5 kW on average, it takes 20 hours to fully charge an electric car.
Vehicle owners who want to shorten the charging time prefer 32A 220V Mod 2 chargers, which are also single-phase, with an industrial socket and 40 fuse. It is possible to reach 7 kW AC speed with these devices, the cost of which starts from 7-8 thousand liras including installation and goes up to 10 thousand liras. In three-phase chargers, the time to fully charge an electric vehicle varies between 3 and 5 hours, depending on the battery size.
If you want to increase the charging speed at home, you should choose three-phase 3x32A 380V charging solutions. These devices, which require a specially insulated installation connection cable, 3x40A triple fuse and wall mounting, can start with 11 kW and go up to 22 kW. The most suitable three-phase charging solution can be purchased abroad for up to 300 dollars, while the prices for floor-mounted, long cable, stand and waterproof solutions reach 1500 dollars. Trifaze şarj cihazlarında bir elektrikli aracın tamamen şarj olma süresi batarya büyüklüğüne göre 3 ile 5 saat arasında değişmektedir.
When choosing a device for charging at home or at work, it is necessary to check whether the existing installation is single-phase or three-phase. In addition, it is necessary to know how many kilowatts the electric vehicle or vehicles to be charged can support in AC charging. For example, it would not make sense to connect a vehicle with 7 kW AC charging support to a 22 kW three-phase charger.
