Electric vehicles began to take place in the parking lot of most sites. The charging stations of these vehicles also bring the risk of fire. Therefore, the establishment of stations causes controversy within the site. Türkiye’s number of electric vehicles in 2035 4 million 214 thousand 273, is expected to reach. According to the calculations of the International Energy Agency, every 100 thousand vehicles hybrids 3 thousand 474, gasoline and diesel employees in 529 thousand, electricity of 25 fire broke out. However, it is estimated that nearly 5,000 electric vehicles per year are fire.
Hard to extinguish
OHS Specialist Lecturer. Member Rüştü Uçan, electric vehicles told about what to do in case of a fire. Flying, electric short circuits; Damages in buildings and transformers may lead to a short circuit, indicating that this may lead to fire, “Vehicle fires; vehicles colliding during the earthquake or overturned electric vehicles may cause fire. Extinguishing electric vehicle fires is extremely difficult. Heating systems; Systems such as water heater, boiler, stove or LPG tubes may cause fire to fall out, “he said.
Neighbors cannot agree
Discussions are continuing about the establishment of charging stations on the sites of electric vehicles. The rapid increase in the use of electric vehicles reveals that the legal infrastructure cannot keep up with this change enough. Lawyer Elvan Kakıcı Şimşek emphasized that the issue is not only an environmental transformation and said, “The circular of the Ministry of Environment is sufficient for the installation of a charging station to the apartments, but the Conde ownership law is still looking for four -fifth majority requirements. Circular laws are not exceeded. This is the harbinger of many dislieves that will be moved to the judiciary in the future “ He said.
They pull the extension cable
Although the Circular of the Ministry of Environment, Urbanism and Climate Change dated 2022 deems the absolute majority decision sufficient to establish a charging unit in apartment parking lots, this clearly contradicts the Conduct Property Law. This incompatibility leads to major problems in practice. One of the most serious problems encountered in the application is without permission from the floor owners of the electric vehicle owners. Trying to charge the vehicles by pulling a extension cable from their apartments. This method is not only legally; It also contains serious risks in terms of technical and safety.
They invite fire
Şimşek, said that such applications will invite fire to the fire, “Cattage Ownership Law should be added. The charging unit will be established by who will be established, which technical conditions and cost sharing should be clarified. If this is not done, the neighborhood relations will be damaged and the burden of the judiciary will increase,” he said. As of 2025, the number of electric vehicles in Türkiye is estimated to exceed 400 thousand. However, the charging infrastructure in the houses is behind this increase. If legal clarity is not achieved, both environmental policies may be interrupted and housing life can be transformed into an inextricable area of conflict. Electric vehicle charging systems are no longer a matter of technology; The issue of law, infrastructure and social harmony. Without a clear legal regulation, a healthy and safe transformation in the apartments does not seem possible.
