Turkey Ranks Among Top 10 Global Markets for Electric Vehicle Sales in April
Turkey has made a significant stride in the global electric vehicle (EV) market, securing a spot among the top ten countries with the highest EV sales in April 2025. According to a report from New AutoMotive, a total of 11,173 electric vehicles were sold in the country during that month, placing Turkey at the seventh position worldwide.
The surge in electric vehicle sales in Turkey can be attributed to several factors. Incentives in the sector, the launch of the homegrown brand Togg, and the expansion of charging infrastructure have all played a crucial role in fueling the growth.
For the eighth consecutive month, the share of battery electric vehicles in Turkey's domestic auto market remained above 10 percent. In April, electric vehicle sales in Turkey reached their highest level since December 2024, with 17,894 units sold, placing the country in the sixth position globally in terms of monthly sales.
While petrol and diesel vehicles continue to lose ground, their combined market share has dwindled from 75 percent in April 2024 to 54 percent in the most recent month. The report suggests that Turkey may overtake Norway and potentially pull ahead of the Netherlands—a country with nearly five times the per capita income—in the coming months.
Over the past 12 months, 123,982 electric vehicles were sold in Turkey, leading to a ranking of eighth globally. It's important to note that this significant growth in the EV market in Turkey is supported by government incentives and an expanding charging infrastructure.
On a global scale, 977,000 battery-electric cars were registered in April 2025, marking the highest April total ever recorded and a 29 percent increase compared to the same month in 2024. The United States and China were the two largest markets for EVs during this period, with 97,941 and 667,980 cars sold respectively. Germany, the United Kingdom, France, India, the Netherlands, and Denmark rounded out the top ten.
In the first four months of 2025, Turkey's EV market showed promise, with 123,982 units sold, placing the country eighth globally.
