The C-SUV model, which Togg will launch next year, came up with a confusing news today. It was suggested that the vehicle would complete the Istanbul – Izmir road with a cost of only 284 TL, but the image shared on the account confused.
It is announced that it will be released in the first months of next year. Togg C-SUV and Turkey’s electric transformation is continuing rapidly. While Togg has officially started mass production, it is also developing its charging infrastructure and explaining the advantages of the electric vehicle to the public.
In this context, Togg, which opened an experience center at Zorlu Center in Istanbul, operates on a single route. A service comparing the cost of a Togg C-SUV and a petrol SUV also presented. One result obtained from this service created the agenda.
“The distance between Istanbul and Izmir will be 285.61 TL with Togg”
Taylan Özgür Dil from Hürriyet shared the travel costs between Izmir and Istanbul on the comparison screen created by Togg. According to the information reflected on Dil’s screen, the Togg C-SUV travels for 4 hours and 43 minutes. 284.51 TL; if it’s a petrol SUV for 936,52 TL was completing.
Could there be a problem with the account?
In the shared account, there was no information about Togg’s battery capacity and energy consumption. On the other hand, on the screen where the calculation is made a confusing detail was also present.
The location shown as where the Togg will charge on the comparison screen, Balikesir Square was. There is almost 310 kilometers of road between this point and the marked destination, İzmir Çeşme (When you continue on the toll road, as shown on the route).
When we consider only this distance and make a rough calculation with the current costs of electric vehicle charging stations in our country, we come to the following conclusion:
- A car that consumes an average of 18 kWh of energy per 100 kilometers, with a charging cost of 7.8 TL per kWh, in total. 421.2 TL will spend.
Therefore, there are some doubts that the data on the comparison screen really show the cost between Izmir and Istanbul. Because the account is only available at Togg’s charging stations. assuming it will offer very low cost becomes possible.
However, with Togg’s 100% charge Range from 300 to 500 kilometers expected to present. Therefore, we can say that the vehicle cannot travel from Istanbul to Izmir (approximately 550 kilometers) on a single charge. This stands before us as another clue that the calculation may have been made starting from Balıkesir.
Of course, in all likelihood, Togg’s all-electric C-SUV will be compared to a standard combustion car. will be able to travel on a much more affordable ‘fuel’ fare. None of us have any doubt about that. However, let’s keep aside the possibility that the approximately 4-fold cost difference, which is in the news today, may have arisen as a result of confusion.
