In Turkey, Turkey’s Automobile Joint Venture Group, known as TOGG, was found in 2018. The electric vehicles were promoted by TOGG at the end of 2019. The purpose of this study is to reveal the first impressions and evaluations of consumers about these vehicles. A qualitative research technique, interview method, was used in the study. In this exploratory research, various topics such as participants' first reactions about the vehicles, features of the vehicles participants emphasized in their evaluations, their price estimations/expectations, purchasing intentions, and brand name suggestions were examined.
