Turkish automotive show discusses sub-€15,000 Fiat Koala, $9,800 BYD Seagull and domestic EV van plans
Turkish automotive programme Oto Gündem covered the affordable EV race, including Stellantis's Fiat Koala (targeting under €15,000, under 4.2 metres, sharing a platform with Citroën 2CV, with potential Tofaş production and Turkey launch). The show also discussed BYD's second generation Seagull (starting at $9,800, offering LiDAR versions, ultra fast charging, 30 kWh and 39.2 kWh Blade batteries) and the domestic Karluna Pratik L7e commercial EV (30 kWh, 60 kWh and 90 kWh battery options, 90 km/h top speed).
Why it matters
Sub-€15,000 EVs from major OEMs and Chinese rivals signal intensifying price competition that will shape charging infrastructure demand in emerging markets. Turkey's potential role in Stellantis production and domestic L7e commercial EV development indicate new regional manufacturing and fleet electrification opportunities for charge point operators.
