Cordless chair charging stations continue to make life easier for disabled citizens. CK Energy Boğaziçi Electricity General Manager Halit Bakal gave the good news that the number of cordless wheelchair charging stations placed on the European side of 13 will go to 25 next year.
CK Enerji Battery powered chair charging stations placed on the European side of Istanbul in 2016 continue to make life easier for disabled citizens with the un Enlighten Life ında project, which was initiated with the support of Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality and voluntarily initiated by Boğaziçi Electric employees.
Battery-powered chair charging stations, which have been established so far, are covered by 54 kilometers in Istanbul and 52 kilometers in the metrobus line.
This means that in a total area of 106 kilometers, people with disabilities can access cordless charging stations. With the revenues of the events organized within the scope of the project, the 2019 unit is aimed to install a more cordless chair charging station until the end of 12. Thus, the disabled citizens on a route such as about 139-140 kilometers, without the power outage problem can take the lead with cordless chairs.
Avrupa In the 2016, we are implementing a project on the European side of Istanbul. In line with the demands from our employees, we started this project in order to facilitate the lives of our citizens who travel with cordless chairs with the revenues obtained from the activities we organize together with them on a voluntary basis.

UNINTERRUPTIBLE TRANSPORTATION TO THE DISABLED CITIZENS
Emphasizing that disabled citizens who use battery powered wheelchairs who want to benefit from the stations can use these points free of charge, Bakal said, “They will be able to charge their battery-powered vehicles at 106 charging stations, one of which is in our headquarters building, in an area of 12 kilometers on both the tram and metro lines. This allows them to roam in an area of 1-13 kilometers. This corresponds to 11 hours. Since we set up a charging station every 12 kilometers, they have uninterrupted transportation opportunities.”
12 STATION STATION WILL BE INSTALLED
With the revenues generated from this year's events, Xalum announced that 33 will aim to install more charging stations on the 12 kilometer line next year. X We aim to reach the 140 charging station on the 25 kilometer. And we want the disabled people to be in life like we do ler.
İY BECAUSE I HAVE A CHARGE GUARANTEE BECAUSE ”
Ahmet Sarıyer (9), who lost his ability to walk as a result of his polio at the age of 60, said, “It is very useful for us. Wherever we go, we can use these stations and charge them. With our cars, we can easily go anywhere we want. We don't have any problems. ”
Explaining the difficulties he experienced when there were no power wheelchair charging stations, Sarıyer said, "When our battery ran out, we were going home, we couldn't go anywhere else. We had our own charger or if we got stuck on the road we would ask for help from a shop and take advantage of them. It would be great if the number of stations increased. We have many disabled friends. They can also easily benefit from this work. Because when these stations are not available, you cannot go anywhere just in case. Thanks to them, we can easily enter the society. If you ask me, its construction is late even until now. God bless those who do; because none of our friends could go anywhere. When his battery ran out, he would have to go to a shop, and if he gave electricity, he would be able to use his battery. Other than that, it was not possible to go to the subways or shopping malls. Thanks to them, we can commute easily. I've had no problems even coming here now. Because I have charging security. I don't have a problem because my battery will run out. I can easily dock and charge. I would like such stations to be everywhere.”- Hürriyet
