What B-CHARGE does

B-CHARGE (legally Bakırcı E Mobility Teknoloji A.Ş.) is a Turkish electric-vehicle charging infrastructure provider founded in 2021 and headquartered in Beykoz, Istanbul. The company manufactures, distributes, and operates EV charging hardware and software, selling AC Wallbox units (7-22 kW Terra AC family sourced primarily via an ABB partnership), DC fast charging stations (50-180 kW Terra 54/94/124/184 series), a 24 kW Mini DC wall charger, mobile/portable charging units (3.4-22 kW), and Type 2 charging cables. Its software stack is built around the B-CHARGE Network Operator Software platform supporting OCPP 1.5/1.6/2.0 protocols, plus a customer-facing mobile application and a web portal that handle station discovery, reservation, payment, and remote tariff, fault, and software-update management.

The company's business model is multi-streamed. It generates one-time revenue from hardware sales, recurring usage-based revenue from kWh consumed under its EPDK-issued charging network operator license (License ŞH/11392-2/00059, valid for 49 years from 23/06/2022), and fee-based revenue from technical services, architectural design of charging facilities (claimed as a unique Turkish offering), solar energy system (GES) supply and installation through partnerships with Turkish manufacturers, B-Directional Charging services (V2H/V2G/V2X) where B-CHARGE is the first Turkish operator to provide such capability, training delivered with Bakırcı Akademi, and business development consultancy. Distribution combines enterprise field sales through its Istanbul headquarters and Ankara and Izmir branch offices with self-serve digital channels (mobile app, web portal). Same-day technical service is offered across 14 Turkish cities, with international service reach into Azerbaijan, TRNC, and the Balkans, and direct support is provided via a 444 71 02 call center.

B-CHARGE addresses eleven distinct customer verticals, including individual users, residential complexes, auto workshops, showrooms, shopping malls, fuel stations, hotels and accommodation, business centers, restaurants and stopovers, supermarket chains, and parking operators, positioning itself as a full-stack 360° e-mobility solutions partner in Turkey's emerging EV ecosystem. Co-founders Fatih Colak (Sales and Operations Director) and Rahim Cafer (Sales and Marketing Director) lead the company, which received early backing from UP Venture Capital in 2023.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• ChargePoint: ChargePoint is the largest global EV charging network and CPMS software platform. Comparable to B-CHARGE in the network operator software layer (OCPP-compliant, app-based user experience), though operating at vastly larger scale across North America and Europe.
• EVBox: EVBox (now part of ENGIE group) is a major European EV charging hardware manufacturer and CPMS operator. Comparable to B-CHARGE in the integrated hardware + software offering and target segments (workplace, residential, public). Operates across Europe with global expansion ambitions.
• ABB E-mobility: ABB E-mobility is the global leader in DC fast charger hardware manufacturing and a current B-CHARGE partner. Functions as both a critical supplier and a potential competitor — ABB sells chargers directly to CPOs and could operate its own network in Turkey, threatening B-CHARGE's hardware supply relationship.
• Tesla Supercharger: Tesla's Supercharger network is the benchmark for proprietary DC fast charging globally. Comparable to B-CHARGE in the DC fast charging segment, though Tesla operates a vertically integrated closed ecosystem. Increasingly opening to non-Tesla EVs in Europe and exploring Turkey expansion.
• EnBW mobility+: EnBW mobility+ is a German utility-backed EV charging network operating high-power DC chargers across Europe. Comparable to B-CHARGE in the utility-rooted CPO model with EPDK-equivalent regulatory backing and bundled renewable energy integration.

Direct peers

• ZES (Zorlu Energy Solutions): ZES is Zorlu Energy's EV charging brand operating one of Turkey's largest public DC fast-charging networks. Direct competitor to B-CHARGE with similar CPO + hardware model, often deployed at fuel stations, malls, and motorway rest stops across Turkey.
• Eşarj (E.ON Türkiye): Eşarj is a major Turkish EV charging network operator backed by E.ON Türkiye, operating public AC and DC charging stations nationwide. Direct competitor to B-CHARGE in the Turkish CPO market, with similar EPDK-licensed operator model and comparable hardware partners (ABB, etc.).
• Trugo: Trugo is a Turkish CPO operated by Aksa Elektrik (Kazancı Holding), focusing on DC fast charging for long-distance travel. Directly comparable to B-CHARGE in the Turkish DC charging market, with overlapping hardware (ABB-based) and target sites (fuel stations, motorway plazas).

Regional players

• IONITY: IONITY is a European high-power DC fast charging network joint venture (BMW, Mercedes, VW, Hyundai). Comparable to B-CHARGE in the high-power DC charging segment and the multi-OEM partnership model, though focused exclusively on European motorway corridors.
• Allego: Allego is a European public EV charging network operator with a roaming-enabled platform across thousands of sites. Comparable to B-CHARGE in the pan-European network operator model and emphasis on software interoperability (OCPP, roaming protocols).
