Özet
The rapid growth of electric vehicle (EV) adoption and declining photovoltaic (PV) costs have accelerated global efforts to integrate renewables into EV charging infrastructure. In emerging economies like T & uuml;rkiye, these developments pose both opportunities and challenges due to limited PV installation areas, variable charging demand, and the capital-intensive nature of energy storage systems (ESS). This study presents a techno-economic and environmental optimization of hybrid solar-powered EV charging stations (EVCS) across 12 climatically diverse Turkish cities. Results show that with flexible PV sizing and moderate demand, grid dependency can be reduced by up to 66.7%, while the renewable fraction (RF) can reach 89%. In high-irradiance regions (>4.5 kWh/m(2)/day), ESS becomes economically viable below $150/kWh, achieving discount payback periods under 10 years. Conversely, in areas with limited space and high demand, RF may drop to 16%, increasing grid reliance and CO2 emissions. Cities like & Idot;zmir and Gaziantep demonstrate 23% lower energy costs than less favorable locations like Trabzon, emphasizing climate impacts. The study offers a replicable framework for planning efficient, low-carbon EVCS tailored to regional conditions, supporting policymakers, utilities, and investors in advancing T & uuml;rkiye's energy transition and decarbonization strategies.
