ANKARA - The manufacturer of Turkey’s first sports car, "Etox", is getting prepared to release the vehicle’s electric version in three months.
In an interview with AA on Monday, Ercan Malkoc, manufacturer of Etox and owner of Erteks Auto Decoration, said that the first fully Turkish-made electric car would be ready in the upcoming days.
Malkoc said the new electric Etox would be able to reach a speed of 120 km/h and travel 250 km with a filled tank in the first phase.
Noting that 4 Turkish firms currently developed engines for the electric car, Malkoc said another national company was also working on a battery.
Malkoc said the prototype would be ready in three months time.
"We are planning to sell the electric Etox for 30,000-35,000 Turkish liras (19,000-22,000 USD)," he said.
