Draft Charging Service Regulation, which was submitted to the public consultation by the Energy Market Regulatory Authority on January 20, 2022 contains provisions regarding the establishment of charging stations where electrical energy is supplied to electric vehicles, operation of charging stations connected to the charging network and charging service.
In this study, Assoc. Prof. Emin Köksal, Asst. Prof. Y. Sertaç Serter and İlker Fatih Kıl examine the Draft Regulation from the perspective of economics, administrative law, and energy law. The study sets out the steps to be taken towards the charging service market to realize the transformation of electric vehicles in transportation, along with the global developments on the subject.
In the Draft Regulation, the charging service is treated similarly to a "universal service". Within the scope of this study, it is emphasized that it is necessary to establish a predictable, accountable and bankable market structure for investors that will ensure the development of charging stations in line with demand with the Draft Charging Service Regulation. In this context, the study also emphasizes the need to avoid interference with the freedom of contract and property rights by not regulating the areas where there is no structural market failure.
