How Much Does a Charging Station Investment Earn?

Why Invest in Charging Stations?

The EV market in Türkiye grows 40% annually. More than 500,000 EVs are on the road as of 2026 and they all need regular charging. Yet charging infrastructure still trails demand. This supply-demand gap is a major opportunity for charging investors.

Revenue Models

There are multiple ways to earn from a charging station. Direct sale of charging service is the core model. Ad revenue, parking fee integration and corporate agreements add extra streams. ADZE Charge's revenue-sharing model enables zero-investment operation.

Direct Charging Sales

AC is sold at 9.40 TL/kWh and DC at 12.40-13.40 TL/kWh. A typical DC station handles 10-20 sessions/day. Each session consumes about 30kWh on average. That's 3,700-7,400 TL daily gross revenue. After electricity cost, gross margin is 40-60%.

ADZE Charge Partnership Model

ADZE Charge offers three partnership models. Full investment: you buy the device, ADZE handles operations. Revenue-sharing: ADZE installs, revenue is shared. Rental: monthly fixed rent for using the station. In every model, ADZE provides technical support, software and customer service.

Payback Periods

AC station: 80,000-120,000 TL investment, 5,000-15,000 TL net monthly, 12-18 months payback. DC station: 500,000-1,200,000 TL investment, 30,000-80,000 TL net monthly, 18-30 months payback. Location selection directly impacts payback time.

Government Incentives

In Türkiye, charging investments are supported by KOSGEB and development agencies through grants and loans. VAT on charging is 20% and energy can be billed at industrial rates. These incentives can reduce investment cost by 20-30%.
