The global pursuit of electronic mobility has surged as countries and companies aim to reduce fossil fuel dependence and combat climate change. Electric vehicles (EVs) have become crucial in this transition, leading to substantial investments in research and development by governments and businesses. The momentum has intensified with the entry of new players like TOGG, Türkiye’s first domestically produced EV brand. This research paper examines the catalysts, obstacles, and prospects of electric mobility in various regions worldwide, alongside implications for the automotive industry and the global energy transition. It also offers recommendations for governments and policymakers to boost EV demand and supply, drawing from TOGG’s successful launch and execution.
