Tesla, the leading name in the electric vehicle world, has decided to expand its charging network investments in Turkey following its recent Supercharger poll. The company has officially announced that it will be building a new Supercharger station in Bornova district of Izmir, a long-awaited step.

The brand, which has been frequently criticized by users for not having any stations in Izmir until now, aims to solve the charging needs of electric vehicle owners in the region with this new investment. Although no definitive address or opening date has yet been shared for the Bornova station, this development is considered part of Tesla’s growth strategy in the Turkish market.

Charging Network Investments Continue Unabated

Tesla continues its infrastructure work in the Turkish market at a rapid pace. The station that recently became operational in Ankara demonstrates the importance the brand places on high-speed charging technology. This facility, implemented in Çankaya, has eight different charging units with a capacity of 250 kW. These high-performance units significantly shorten charging times for electric vehicle owners, providing great comfort on long journeys. This step taken in Ankara is considered a sign that the number of charging stations will increase throughout Türkiye with the Bornova project.

Special Messages from Senior Officials to Turkey

Max De Zegher, a senior official responsible for Tesla’s Supercharger network, stated in his statements via his personal X account that they are focused on meeting the expectations of Turkish users. In information shared on October 29, 2025, De Zegher emphasized that six new locations and sixty new charging points are under construction across Turkey, and stated that they continue to serve Turkish customers in ‘Plaid’ mode. These strategic moves clearly demonstrate Tesla’s commitment to strengthening the electric vehicle ecosystem in Türkiye.

Global Expansion Targets Are Being Set

The decision regarding the station in Bornova stands out as part of Tesla’s global voting process. Preparing to establish new stations in many different countries, from Australia to Japan, Croatia to Israel, Tesla is successfully implementing its location-determining strategy based on local needs. Turkey is also becoming a valuable module of this global network, continuing to develop its charging infrastructure in line with its sustainable transportation vision. With the new locations to be opened in the coming period, the use of electric vehicles is expected to become even more widespread throughout Turkey.
