by Mohammad Ghazal

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has officially become the first owner of Türkiye’s indigenous electric vehicle (EV).

The Turkish president, accompanied by first lady Emine Erdogan, was delivered Togg’s EV model T10X in a ceremony at the Presidential Complex in the capital Ankara on Monday, according to Turkish press reports.

The fully electric C-segment SUV features the “Anadolu” color, inspired by red, reflecting Anatolian lands’ sincerity and passion.

As he received the vehicle, Erdogan said: “Today, we are witnessing together the realisation of the 60-year dream of our nation.”

“Togg was born as a symbol of the technological development, economic development and global reputation of our country,” Erdoğan said Monday.

“Starting today, we will start seeing Togg on the roads.”

The car features the Gemlik color, which has been named after the blue waters of the district that houses the Togg’s campus, shaded by olive trees.

The carmaker will start delivering 20,000, up from the initially planned 12,000 as of April.

Called the Automobile Initiative Group of Türkiye, or Togg, a consortium of five Turkish companies, manufactures the vehicle in cooperation with the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB), according to Daily Sabah.

The batteries of the Togg T10X can be recharged to up to 80% from 20% in less than 28 minutes at fast-charging stations.
