DMM denies claims about charging electric vehicles at home

In the statement made by DMM, it was stated that some social media accounts included claims that "a new regulation has been introduced regarding the charging of electric vehicles at home, existing chargers will be removed and fines of hundreds of thousands of liras will be imposed on those who charge their vehicles at home."

"THE CLAIMS DO NOT REFLECT THE TRUTH"

In the statement, it was emphasized that the claims in question contained disinformation and did not reflect the truth, and said, "There is absolutely no ban on charging electric vehicles in homes, apartments or site parking lots. The main purpose of the regulations is to prevent unplanned, unauthorized and untechnical individual interventions in the electrical installation in multi-storey buildings, and to ensure the safety of life and property of our citizens by preventing possible fire and accident risks." statements were included.

"PENALTIES ARE FOR VIOLATIONS OF LEGISLATION"

In the statement, it was stated that in buildings with more than two independent sections, charging units should be installed in accordance with the approved project and technical safety standards, with the knowledge of the building management, by obtaining the necessary permissions and by making project modifications if necessary, and the following was noted:

"The alleged penalties are not due to a new restriction on charging electric vehicles at home, but rather to violations of legislation currently in force, such as off-meter connection, illegal or irregular use of electricity. It is kindly requested not to rely on unfounded posts that aim to create an environment of panic and insecurity by distorting the technical regulations that center on the safety of our citizens, and to only take into account the statements made by official authorities."
