As part of the contract, Siemens will also
provide control and monitoring configuration backend software to ensure
optimized operations. The software will enable Astor Enerji to use cloud
applications for the charger management system with payment modules, membership
options, and energy pricing. These stations are enabled to communicate with
cloud systems and can be monitored and controlled remotely via Siemens´
software. 99 percent of unlikely glitches can be resolved online. In this way, time,
and cost factors, e.g., sending service teams to the field, are minimized. “We are delighted to be able
to make a substantial contribution to the expansion of electric vehicle
charging infrastructure in Turkey. The combined expertise of Astor Enerji and
Siemens supports the rapid implementation of the project. SICHARGE D is a
perfect fit for the needs of EV drivers, and our digital
services will help ensure highest availability of the future charging network,”
said Markus Mildner, CEO eMobility at Siemens Smart Infrastructure.
Feridun Geçgel,
Chairman of the Board of Directors of Astor Energy, said: “The number of
electric vehicles in our country is expected to reach 2.5 million in 10 years.
Along with the electric vehicle transformation, the creation of the
infrastructure is also of great importance. With our Astor Charge brand, we
took an important step to improve Turkey's electric vehicle charging station
infrastructure. Especially for the installation of DC charging stations, which
we call fast charging, an increase in electrical installed power is required.
As Astor Energy, we have the capacity to increase power with our deep-rooted
experience and expertise. Our cooperation with Siemens Turkey will offer
electric vehicle owners safe, fast, and easy charging. In addition, this
agreement will contribute to our country's goals in energy efficiency and
environmentally friendly technologies.”

The Turkish EV
market is growing at a fast pace. Current projections indicate that Turkey´s
charging station infrastructure will increase around 50 percent through 2030,
when up to two million electric cars are expected to be on the road in the
country. Astor Enerji is an Ankara-based specialist enterprise in manufacturing
of medium voltage switching products and compact transformer substations. It was
among the first companies in Turkey to obtain a "Charging Network Operator
License" issued by the Republic of Turkey Energy Market Regulatory
Institution (EPDK) (EMRI).
Siemens’ direct
current (DC) high-power charger SICHARGE D, with a rating of up to 300kW,
reduces charging times to between 15 and 25 minutes and is very intuitive to
operate. The charging process is automatically adapted to the connected
vehicles. The charging capacity can either be used completely for a single
vehicle or distributed among several vehicles depending on their needs. Dynamic
power allocation easily considers the vehicle’s individual power demands and
ensures optimized charging time. Up to three vehicles can be charged in
parallel with two DC fast-charging sockets and one optional AC socket. Using a
dispenser, the system can be expanded to have up to 4 fast-charging sockets.
The integrated 24" adjustable screen allows users to easily operate the
SICHARGE D charger at the most convenient height.
Earlier this year, Siemens has received the iF Design
Award 2023 for its high-power charger SICHARGE D. The prize was awarded by the
certified non-profit iF Design Foundation, which promotes design and its social
significance and is regarded as one of the most prestigious design awards in
the world - with almost 11,000 entries from 56 countries in 2023.
