Updated: 2 weeks ago

In Northern Cyprus, the easiest way to charge an electric vehicle is at public stations operated by the ZES and In-Charge networks. To find the nearest station, use the ZES map (online) and aggregators like PlugShare: you can see the locations, connector types, and user reviews. Charging usually starts via the network's mobile app or through the station terminal (if available), with instructions displayed on the charging screen.
