Charge Point Operator (CPO)
A charge point operator runs and maintains public charging stations and sets the base charging prices.
What is Charge Point Operator (CPO)?
Drivers often pay through a separate mobility service provider’s card or app. Roaming lets one card work with many operators. Operators are responsible for repairs and uptime. In Turkey, charging networks must be licensed by the energy market regulator EPDK.
How it works
The operator manages the hardware, grid connection and back-end software of the charge points.
Why it matters for your car
Prices can be higher when charging through roaming. Report faulty chargers to the operator shown on the station.
