Turkiye Electric Vehicle Fleet

Electric vehicle ownership in Turkiye continued its rise by surpassing a historic threshold in 2025[cite: 427]. [cite_start]As of the end of 2025, the total electric vehicle fleet in Turkiye reached 366,223 units, while the number of electric vehicles sold in this year alone was 189,868[cite: 428]. [cite_start]The market share of electric vehicles made a significant jump from 10.15% in 2024 to 17.5% throughout 2025[cite: 429]. [cite_start]According to sales data, the most preferred electric car throughout 2025 was the Tesla Model Y, solidifying its position at the top[cite: 430]. [cite_start]Year-end data proves that this change is not just a trend, but a permanent transformation [cite: 431][cite_start].



Charging Infrastructure and Charging Stations Development

Charging infrastructure continues to be one of the most critical elements of the electric vehicle ecosystem[cite: 433]. As of the end of 2025, the total number of sockets in Turkiye reached 38,861; [cite_start]22,126 of this capacity consisted of AC sockets and 16,735 of DC sockets[cite: 434, 435]. [cite_start]While 11,597 new sockets were added to the infrastructure throughout the year, this growth occurred in a balanced manner (5,993 AC and 5,604 DC), facilitating users' access to fast and widespread charging options[cite: 436]. [cite_start]In particular, the decline in the number of vehicles per socket from 14.8 in 2024 to 9.42 at the end of 2025 indicates that infrastructure investments have increased accessibility despite the growing vehicle fleet, reduced congestion, and significantly improved user experience [cite: 437][cite_start].

Most Preferred Electric Vehicle Brands in 2025

Looking at the year-end data, in brand rankings, TOGG maintained its leadership by a wide margin with sales of 39,020 units, consolidating its strong position in the market[cite: 440]. [cite_start]While Tesla and BYD completed the year in the top ranks with high sales volumes, the presence of brands from different segments such as Citroen, KIA, MINI, Hyundai, Opel, KGM, and Volvo in the top 10 reveals that the electric vehicle market displayed balanced and multi-brand growth throughout the year[cite: 441, 442]. [cite_start]This picture shows that consumers are turning to different segment and brand alternatives and that competition has shaped across a wide spectrum throughout the year [cite: 443][cite_start].

Best-Selling Electric Vehicle Models in 2025

While TOGG, which achieved leadership in total sales with two different models throughout 2025, maintained its strong position on a brand basis, the change of leadership on a model basis clearly reflects the dynamic and competitive nature of the market[cite: 446, 447]. [cite_start]Tesla Model Y became the best-selling model of 2025 with sales of 31,509 units, while TOGG maintained its weight in the market by placing two models in the top three with the T10X (27,583 units) and T10F (11,437 units)[cite: 448]. [cite_start]This disclosed data simultaneously revealed the steady growth of the domestic brand and the strong competitive environment formed with other brands in the market on a model basis[cite: 449]. [cite_start]In particular, the presence of KGM (Torres) and BYD with different models (Atto 3, Seal U) in the top 10 proves consumers' interest in alternative segments[cite: 450]. [cite_start]The presence of global brands such as MINI, Kia, Opel, and Hyundai in the top 10 shows that the transition to electric mobility has spread to the grassroots in all segments and that competition has reached a new dimension as of 2025 [cite: 451][cite_start].

Charging Station Companies with the Widest Charging Network

When the 2025 data is evaluated together, it is seen that the charging infrastructure in Turkiye has gained strong momentum in terms of both total network size and new socket investments[cite: 454]. [cite_start]While ZES maintains its leadership in total number of sockets, operators such as Trugo, Eşarj, Voltrun, and Wat Mobilite have strengthened competition in the market by increasing their prevalence within the top 10 charging networks[cite: 455]. [cite_start]On the other hand, in the ranking of brands that added the most sockets in 2025, Trugo ranked first, while ZES and Wat Mobilite made significant contributions to growth with high numbers of new sockets[cite: 456]. [cite_start]The investments of players such as Voltrun, Zeplin Car Rental, and Otopriz support the expansion of charging infrastructure to different usage scenarios, while the overall picture reveals that the electric vehicle ecosystem in Turkiye is expanding in a multi-player manner [cite: 457, 458][cite_start].
