Background Recent social media posts claimed that the Directorate of Electrical and Mechanical Works (DMM) had imposed a ban on charging electric vehicles (EVs) at home, in apartment buildings, or in residential parking lots.
These claims sparked confusion among EV owners across Turkey.
DMM’s Official Statement DMM issued a formal clarification that there are no restrictions on charging EVs at home or in private parking areas.
The agency emphasized that the regulations in place are solely aimed at safeguarding the electrical infrastructure.
"There is no limitation on charging electric vehicles at home.
The current regulations are applied only for safety purposes," a DMM spokesperson said.
Safety Measures The Directorate highlighted that the existing rules are necessary to prevent unauthorized, non‑compliant modifications to the electrical systems of multi‑storey buildings.
These measures help reduce fire and accident risks by ensuring that all electrical installations meet technical requirements.
Conclusion EV owners can continue to charge their vehicles at home as long as they follow the safety guidelines outlined by DMM.
No additional restrictions have been imposed.
