The number of registered electric cars in Türkiye reached 289,457 by the end of July 2025, marking a 120.6% increase compared with the same period last year, the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) data showed.
Figures show that only 565 EVs were on the roads in 2015, while the figure surpassed 250,000 in June 2025, as the total number of registered passenger cars of all types stood at 16.8 million in July.
EVs now account for 1.7% of Türkiye’s passenger car fleet, up from 1.1% at the end of 2024. The steady rise has been supported by the expansion of charging infrastructure, as well as the introduction of new models from global and domestic manufacturers.
Türkiye’s first domestically produced electric car, Togg, has played a central role in boosting adoption, alongside international competitors such as U.S.-based Tesla and China’s BYD, which have gained strong traction in the Turkish market.
From January to July 2025, a total of 103,310 EVs were sold nationwide. BYD led with 29,284 units, followed by Togg with 19,821 and Tesla with 17,026. Combined, these three brands accounted for 64.1% of total sales, or 66,131 units, according to the Automotive Distributors’ and Mobility Association (ODMD)'s figures.
Hybrid cars have followed a similar growth trend. When first tracked in 2011, only 23 hybrid vehicles were registered in Türkiye. The number rose to 13,877 in 2019 and reached 222,328 by the end of 2023.
By the end of 2024, registered hybrids increased to 391,296, and as of July 2025, the total stood at 556,995. Their share in the overall car fleet rose from 2.4% in late 2024 to 3.3% in July 2025.
