Togg Tops Turkey's EV Sales Chart as Tesla Trails Behind

Turkey’s electric vehicle market has a new leader, and it isn’t Tesla. According to sales figures reported by Yeni Şafak, the domestic brand Togg has claimed the top spot, while Tesla has fallen behind — a shift few observers would have predicted just a year ago.

The real jolt to the rankings came from an unexpected model that shook up the familiar order of the best-selling EVs. While the report does not spell out every name on the list, the headline makes clear that the standings are no longer dictated by the usual global players alone.

The takeaway is straightforward: Turkey’s EV buyers are increasingly turning to homegrown options. Togg’s rise to first place reflects both growing production capacity and a maturing charging and ownership ecosystem that makes domestic electric cars a practical choice rather than a curiosity.
