Amendments To The Charging Service Regulation

The Regulation Amending the Charging Service Regulation (the “Amending Regulation”) entered into force upon its publication in the Official Gazette on 23 March 2026 (No.33202). The Amending Regulation introduces amendments to various provisions of the Charging Service Regulation (the “Regulation”). While most amendments entered into force upon publication, a specific provision concerning charging stations will take effect on 1 July 2026.

Considering the recent developments observed in the electric vehicle ecosystem, it appears that the regulatory framework governing charging infrastructure has been brought back onto the agenda for reconsideration, both in its technical and commercial dimensions. In this context, it may be understood that, through the Amending Regulation, the scope of charging network operation activities has been expanded, and new obligations and standards have been introduced in areas such as data and system security, user experience, and market transparency.
