EV makers modify engines for Turkish market for lower tax
Electric carmakers are adjusting the engine powers of their vehicles so that consumers pay lower taxes, which serves as a kind of incentive to buy EVs.
In the past, carmakers resorted to a similar method to boost sales. They designed 1.5-liter or 1.6-liter engines, especially for the Turkish market which would fit into lower tax brackets and made those vehicles more accessible.
