The reality of global warming brings along an increase in environmental awareness. In recent years, this awareness has shifted public focus on electric vehicles. For a large group of people greenhouse gas emission is attributed to in-ternal combustion engines. However, some challenges have arisen for electric vehicles. Limited range due to immature battery technologies and insufficient fast charging technologies that do not meet end user expectations are some major obstacles to overcome. Eventually this situation negatively affects the sales and the wide use of electric vehicles. That is the reason why studies on wired and wireless charging systems play an important role in improving the sales perfor-mance of electric vehicles. In this study a thorough review of worldwide electric vehicle charging systems is conducted and discussed in the framework of the electric vehicles, charging stations, installations, and implementation of stand-ards in Turkey. The distribution of charging stations in Turkey are analyzed with respect to location, region, type, infrastructure requirements and future projec-tions. The historical development of charging technologies, modes and charge levels have been studied in detail. As highlight of this study, wireless charging technologies were also discussed and the historical development process was an-alyzed along with related standards. The current state of electric vehicle sector and charging stations in Turkey are discussed and provided with up to date in-formation.
