About IVVOA

A company for the electric century.

One in four new cars sold in the world in 2025 was electric. The fleet is set to grow sixfold by 2035, and the public charging capacity to serve it must grow with it. The industry that will build that capacity is young, fragmented and, in most of the world, not yet trusted. IVVOA was founded for this moment.

The company in one paragraph

Attention funds access.

IVVOA Energies LLC is a United States company headquartered in San Diego, California, and operates in Türkiye, its first and leading market. It builds and operates solar-supported charging networks, together with the technology, media and research that make them stronger, under one brand and one standard wherever it works. It does not sell electricity as a commodity. It converts attention into charging value. IVVOA is global by design and intends to stay that way. On every station, screen and app, the brand is simply IVVOA.

What IVVOA is for, and how it decides

Vision, mission, formula, pledge.

Vision
Clean electric mobility that is easier, faster and more rewarding, in Türkiye first and in every market that follows.
Mission
To build and operate charging networks, and the technology, media and research that make them stronger, so that attention funds access and the roadside becomes a place worth choosing, under one brand and one standard wherever IVVOA works.
The idea in one line
Attention funds access. IVVOA does not sell electricity as a commodity; it converts attention into charging value.
The strategic formula
Proof, then prestige, then scale. Depth in one market before breadth across many.
The pledge
1% for our Earth. One percent of gross revenue, not of profit, from the three commercial pillars funds the IVVOA Institute permanently, from the first day.
The discipline question
Every proposal must answer, in two sentences or fewer, how it makes the charging network stronger. If it cannot, it belongs somewhere other than IVVOA.
The five words

Solar supported · Advanced technology · Media engaged · Market leader · Fast, affordable, reliable

Wherever IVVOA is described, in a sentence, a slide or a conversation, these five ideas are the description, in this order. They are not slogans. They are the standard the network is held to.

Corporate values

Five values, written so they can be tested against a decision.

  • Honest

    The price before the plug. The allowance in kilowatt-hours. No fees beyond the energy, no green claim a site cannot keep, no capacity that is not there. Honesty earns more trust than superlatives, and trust is the asset the industry lacks most.

  • Hospitable

    A driver is a guest, not a transaction. Shade in summer, light at night, a coffee, a clean restroom, a prayer room, a screen worth watching, and the same welcome at every stop, in every market, in the guest’s own language.

  • Precise

    One wordmark, four colors, two typefaces, one standard. Hardware that works every time, uptime treated as an obsession, data that is measured before it is claimed.

  • Ambitious

    IVVOA intends to lead, in numbers as well as in quality: one of the largest networks in every market it enters, and the reference network in the first. Ambition is stated plainly and measured plainly.

  • Responsible

    Solar on every roof the site allows. One percent of revenue to research and the public interest, permanently. A company that treats clean mobility not only as a business but as a responsibility toward climate, environment and the generations that will inherit the roads.

Founding principles

Seven decisions, set before the first site.

  1. 01

    Charging is the business.

    Every unit, product and partnership must serve charging. Nothing stands alone.

  2. 02

    Solar is an input, not a product.

    IVVOA uses solar; it does not manufacture panels, develop solar farms or sell generation capacity.

  3. 03

    Attention funds access.

    Media revenue funds the complimentary allowance. This is the economic engine, not a marketing tactic.

  4. 04

    Technology is owned, not rented.

    The platform is built for IVVOA’s own network first and productized second.

  5. 05

    Authority is infrastructure.

    Research, policy engagement and public trust open doors that sales calls cannot.

  6. 06

    The first market first, and properly.

    Depth in one market before breadth across many.

  7. 07

    1% for our Earth.

    One percent of gross revenue from the three commercial pillars funds the Institute, permanently.

Leading the market

What market leader means, in four dimensions.

In numbers
The largest networks are measured in sockets, sites and provinces served. In its first market IVVOA intends to stand among the ten largest networks before 2030, present in every region, with thousands of sockets and hundreds of sites. In every later market the measure is the same: a network large enough that a driver can plan any journey around it.
In experience
The first operator a driver names when asked where charging works. In an industry where one visit in seven can end without a charge, the brand remembered for reliability leads whatever its rank in count.
In standards
The operator whose way of doing things becomes the way the category does things: visible pricing, honest allowances, host partnerships that put the host first, clean energy shown rather than claimed. Türkiye wrote visible pricing into law in 2026; IVVOA had designed for it before it was required.
In authority
The company whose research is cited by regulators, municipalities and competitors, because it is funded permanently, independent in what it finds, and published.
And in surprise
Leaders also change what the category expects. IVVOA keeps room, in capital and in attention, for the innovation that makes competitors’ plans obsolete, and intends to deliver it rather than wait for it.

Why Türkiye first, why Antalya first

The first market is where a company learns to be itself.

Türkiye is the market profile IVVOA was designed for, in full: 86 million people, an electric fleet grown more than twenty times in three years, an apartment nation where 63 percent of drivers have no charger at home, a public network that must grow six times by 2035, a regulator that made honest pricing the law in March 2026, strong sunlight across most of the country, and a visitor economy that judges the country by what it finds at the charger. Antalya is the fifth largest province, a city of residents as well as visitors, with the sunlight to make solar canopies pay, the highway traffic of the whole Mediterranean coast, and, in November 2026, the attention of the world’s climate conference. It is the one province in which residents, visitors, highway, city, resort and promenade can all be proven together. Proof here is proof for everywhere.

The ambition

A national network. One of the ten largest before 2030.

IVVOA is not a boutique project in a tourist city. It is a national charging network, planned from the first day to reach all seven regions and all 81 provinces of Türkiye, and it intends to stand among the ten largest networks in the country before 2030, measured the way the regulator measures: in sockets, in sites and in provinces served. It will grow in the order that makes a network useful: the corridors first, so that a driver can cross the country on IVVOA, then the large cities, then the neighborhoods. The standard beneath the numbers does not change with size.

The road ahead

Proof, then prestige, then scale.

  1. 01

    Proof

    A network in the first market that works, every day, at the standard this page describes: the price before the plug, the allowance in kilowatt-hours, solar on the roof, a place worth stopping, one account across every format. Measured in sessions that end the way the screen said they would, and in drivers who come back.

  2. 02

    Prestige

    The standing a proven network earns with drivers, hosts, regulators and the public: the brand drivers name first, the host partner institutions choose, the research regulators cite. Measured in who asks IVVOA to come to them.

  3. 03

    Scale

    The corridors, the large cities and all seven regions of Türkiye; then the same system, the same four pillars and the same standard in the next market, and the next. Measured in sockets, sites and markets, and in the fact that the standard did not change as the numbers grew.

The founder

Prof. Bassem Khafagy, Founder and Chief Executive Officer.

I have spent much of my working life at the meeting point of ideas and institutions, and I have learned that the two are rarely separated for long. A good idea without a structure remains a conversation. A structure without an idea becomes a habit. IVVOA is my attempt to hold both at once. We are not here to place a few chargers in a car park and call it progress. We are here to build a national network that stands among the largest in our first market, to demonstrate that clean mobility can be commercially strong, socially useful and a pleasure to use, and then to repeat that demonstration, market after market, until it is unremarkable. If that sounds like a long road, it is. It is also the only road worth building.

Three readers, one invitation

Capital, talent, or a site.

For the investor: a global industry that must grow sixfold in a decade, an operating model with more than one source of value, and a company that proves before it scales; financial detail is shared separately under agreement. For the team member: a chance to build the standard, not to copy one. For the host, the city and the institution: a visible, clean, honest network, a public space worth stopping in, and research shared in the public interest.
