EV and hybrid vehicle registrations in Türkiye have surged significantly in recent years. As of November 2025, electric vehicle (EV) registrations rose by 110% compared to the previous year, reaching 348,908. This increase reflects both a shift in consumer preferences and the rapid expansion of charging infrastructure.
According to data from Anadolu Agency (AA), compiled from the Turkish Statistical Institute, the total number of cars registered in Türkiye stood at 17,218,442 last month. Of these, EVs have seen impressive growth. In 2015, only 565 EVs were on Turkish roads. However, by November 2024, that number had jumped to 165,898. As of November 2025, it has climbed to 348,908, marking an annual growth of about 110%. As a result, EVs now account for 2.02% of all registered cars, up from 1.02% in 2024.
The rise in EVs can be attributed to the rapid expansion of the charging network throughout the country. This development has made it easier for consumers to switch to electric vehicles. Furthermore, the introduction of Togg, Türkiye’s domestic electric car brand, has played a key role in boosting sales. The Togg T10X EV, displayed at the Togg Experience Center in Istanbul, showcases the success of Türkiye’s domestic EV initiative and the growing recognition of local car brands.
Similarly, hybrid vehicle registrations have increased as well. Türkiye first began recording hybrid registrations in 2011, with just 23 hybrids on the road. By 2019, that number rose to 13,877. By the end of 2023, hybrid registrations reached 222,328. In 2024, the number of registered hybrid vehicles climbed to 391,296, and by November 2025, there were 652,752 hybrid vehicles on the roads. Consequently, hybrids now make up 3.8% of all registered cars, a significant rise from 2.3% in 2024.
This shift toward electric and hybrid vehicles is part of Türkiye’s broader push for greener transportation options. These vehicles help reduce carbon emissions, enhance energy efficiency, and reduce noise pollution compared to traditional fuel-powered cars. As more EVs and hybrids populate Turkish roads, the country is making substantial strides toward sustainable mobility.
Furthermore, in the first five months of 2025, electric and hybrid vehicles together captured 42.9% of the market share in Türkiye. The demand for these vehicles continues to increase. Moreover, new investments, such as BYD’s $1 billion plant in Türkiye, along with Togg’s ongoing success, signal a promising future for electric and hybrid vehicles in the country.
