Can foreign-registered electric or hybrid cars charge at public EV charging stations in Antalya, and do you need an adapter?

TL;DR

Yes — foreign plates are not an issue, networks like ZES, Trugo, Eşarj and Sharz.net work via app with any bank card, foreign included. No adapter needed since Turkey uses the standard EU Type 2 (Mennekes) connector.

What the community said

Citizenship or residency doesn't matter for charging — register in the network's app (e.g. ZES), link a card (Turkish or foreign) and pay per session.

ZES app

Turkish charging stations use the standard Type 2 (Mennekes) connector, same as in the EU, so no adapter is needed for a European-spec hybrid or EV.

Type 2 connector

Near Altıntaş and shopping malls like MarkAntalya and TerraCity there are ZES and Trugo fast-charging stations.

Besides ZES, Antalya also has Eşarj and Sharz.net networks — each has its own app and coverage map, worth installing a few for reliability.

Payment at most stations is charged automatically to the linked card via the app; cash is rarely accepted.
