What is TOGG

As an experienced automotive manufacturer, Turkey is following the global trend of the EV transition and on an enthusiastic start. A government-led action group for EV production called TOGG was initiated in 2018. Automotive sector in Turkey yields (but is not limited to) the following titles at the same time: a strength, a public revenue source, a trade dilemma, an (national) ambition. To tackle power grid problems due to increasing demand, renewable energy usage seems both challenging and necessary. There is a potentially favorable demand for EVs. Promoting the EVs for the customers requires strong infrastructure which seems lacking in Turkey. The EVCSs have been scarce against large land area of the country. On the contrary, consumers in Turkey buy too much BEVs against PHEVs compared to the EU which needs to be directed by the government accordingly to make a healthy transition in the future.
