Reev Aura (November 2026): Turkey's Cheapest EV at 1.35 Million TL, 31.9 kWh Battery, and What 3.3 kW AC Charging Really Means

Why is everyone talking about the Reev Aura?

When the November 2026 EV price lists came out, the line that drew the most attention wasn't from a Korean or European brand. The Reev Aura, built in Samsun, took the bottom spot at 1,350,000 TL. Every other electric car in the regular passenger segment on the November lists starts at around 1.6 million TL, so the Aura is more than 250,000 TL cheaper.

The Reev Aura is the first car from Reeder, a company best known for phones and consumer electronics. In March 2026, Reeder told the Public Disclosure Platform (KAP) that the car had started coming off the line at its Samsun plant. It is based on the Wuling Bingo platform. The pre-order price at the first announcement was 1,000,000 TL. Reeder's own sales page now lists 1,350,000 TL, with delivery about 90 days after ordering.

This article skips the brochure numbers and asks the question that matters: how does this small EV actually work with Turkey's public charging network?

What does 333 km CLTC mean in WLTP terms?

Reeder's 333 km figure is measured on the CLTC cycle. That is the Chinese standard, and it leans heavily on low-speed city driving, so it comes out well above the WLTP figures used in Europe and Turkey. Some outlets put the WLTP equivalent at about 275 km. That is an estimate, not an official homologation figure.

For everyday driving, expect roughly this:

• City driving in mild weather: around 250 km is realistic.
• Highway at 110–120 km/h: the small battery and boxy body can bring it down to 180–200 km.
• Winter with the heater on: LFP batteries lose more range in the cold, so a drop of 20–30% shouldn't surprise you.

The Reev Aura is a city car. It easily covers a daily 40–60 km of commuting, school runs and grocery trips. A one-off long trip like Ankara to Istanbul is possible, but you will need to plan your charging stops.

Public charging: what really matters

AC stations: a 22 kW socket, 3.3 kW of charging

On paper, the Aura's weakest number is its 3.3 kW onboard AC charger. In practice, most public AC stations can deliver 22 kW, but the car will only draw 3.3 kW at most. However powerful the station, an hour of AC charging adds about 3 kWh to the battery, which is roughly 20–25 km of city range.

What that looks like day to day:

• Two hours at a shopping mall: about 40–50 km of range added.
• Eight hours in a workplace car park: enough to take the battery from nearly empty to full.
• Overnight at home: Reeder's 9.5-hour full-charge time works if you plug in at night and leave in the morning.

So AC charging isn't a quick top-up for the Aura. It's for places where the car stays parked for a long time.

DC stations: 20–80% in 35 minutes

Reeder hasn't published the car's maximum DC charging power (kW). It only says that 20–80% takes about 35 minutes. Sixty percent of a 31.9 kWh battery is about 19 kWh. Adding that in 35 minutes works out to an average of about 30–35 kW.

That is far below the roughly 100 kW its rivals can take on DC, but the small battery keeps the actual charging time reasonable. Worth knowing:

• Plugging into a 60 kW, 120 kW or 180 kW DC unit makes no difference, because the car won't go above its own limit. A more powerful charger won't make it faster.
• Stop DC charging at 80%. LFP batteries slow down noticeably over the last 20%.
• On long trips, plan a 30–35 minute stop roughly every 150–180 km.

Connector warning: Turkey's public network uses Type 2 for AC and CCS2 for DC. Before you take delivery, get the dealer to confirm in writing which connector the Turkish-market car has.

How much does a charge cost?

Public charging prices in Turkey vary by operator. Prices announced in summer 2026 were about 9.90–9.99 TL per kWh for AC and about 13–16.5 TL per kWh for DC. Under EPDK rules, operators now charge one AC price and one DC price no matter how powerful the charger is. The figures below are estimates based on those ranges, with 10% added for charging losses.

Scenario	Energy drawn (approx.)	AC (~10 TL/kWh)	DC (~13–15 TL/kWh)
20% → 80%	~21 kWh	~210 TL	~275–315 TL
10% → 100%	~32 kWh	~320 TL	(not recommended on DC)
100 km in the city	~13–14 kWh	~130–140 TL	~170–210 TL

For comparison, a small petrol car using 6–7 liters per 100 km in the city costs clearly more than this at today's pump prices. If you charge at home, the gap is even bigger.

How it compares with rivals

The Aura's closest rivals are the other city EVs at the bottom of the November 2026 price lists.

Model	Price (Nov 2026)	Battery	Range	AC charging	DC charging	Fast-charge time
Reev Aura	1,350,000 TL	31.9 kWh LFP	333 km (CLTC)	3.3 kW	not published (avg. ~30–35 kW)	20–80% ~35 min
Hyundai Inster Dynamic	1,595,000 TL	42 kWh	about 327 km (WLTP)	11 kW	about 73 kW	10–80% about 30 min
Fiat Grande Panda Electric	1,609,900 TL (promotional)	44 kWh LFP	320 km (WLTP)	7.4 kW	100 kW	20–80% about 27 min
Citroën ë-C3 Plus	1,645,000 TL	44 kWh LFP	320 km (WLTP)	7.4 kW	100 kW	10–80% about 26 min

What the table tells us

Price: The Aura is about 245,000 TL cheaper than its nearest rival. That's enough to pay for several years of charging.

Range: The figures look close, but the Aura's is CLTC and the others are WLTP. On the same standard, the Aura comes in about 45–50 km behind.

Charging: This is the biggest difference. The rivals charge 2–3 times faster on AC and about 3 times faster on DC. If you charge at home overnight and rarely leave the city, you'll hardly notice. If you can't charge at home or work and rely on public stations, it could decide the purchase.

Warranty, service and resale: The established brands have wide service networks and mature used-car markets in Turkey. Reeder is new to cars. Before you buy, get the battery warranty, service locations and spare-parts process in writing.

Who is the Reev Aura right for?

A good fit for:

• People who can charge at home or in their apartment complex and drive 30–60 km a day.
• Families looking for a small, cheap second car for city errands.
• Buyers who want to go electric but can't stretch to 1.6 million TL.
• Fleets on short, repeated routes, such as couriers, shuttles or municipal services.

Think twice if you:

• Drive between cities several times a month.
• Have no home charging and would depend entirely on public AC stations. At 3.3 kW, an AC charge takes hours.
• Regularly need to seat three people in the back. The car only has four seats.

5 questions to ask before you buy

1. What's the price at delivery? It was 1,000,000 TL at launch and is 1,350,000 TL on the sales page now. Ask whether the price is locked in when you order.
2. Which charging connector does it have? Get written confirmation that it's Type 2 / CCS2, compatible with Turkey's network.
3. How long is the battery warranty, in years and km? LFP batteries last a long time, but the warranty terms directly affect resale value.
4. What's the maximum DC charging power in kW? It hasn't been officially published yet. If you plan long trips, ask for it.
5. Where are the service centers? Check whether there's an authorized service center in your province.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the Reev Aura cost?

As of November 2026, Reeder's sales page lists a pre-order price of 1,350,000 TL. At the first announcement in March 2026 it was 1,000,000 TL. On the November lists, it's the cheapest electric passenger car sold in Turkey.

What is the Reev Aura's real-world range?

The 333 km figure is measured on the Chinese CLTC cycle. The WLTP equivalent is estimated at about 275 km. In real driving, around 250 km in the city and 180–200 km on the highway is more realistic. Expect less in winter.

How long does it take to charge at a public DC station?

The manufacturer says about 35 minutes from 20% to 80%. The car's own charging limit sets that time, so a more powerful DC charger won't shorten it. At current prices, a 20–80% charge costs about 275–315 TL.

Does AC charging make sense?

It does if the car will be parked for a long time. The Aura draws a maximum of 3.3 kW on AC, so even at a 22 kW station you add about 20–25 km of range per hour. That suits shopping trips, workplace parking or overnight stops. If you need a quick 15-minute top-up, use a DC station.

Conclusion

The Reev Aura is a Turkish-built city car that lowers the cost of going electric in Turkey to 1.35 million TL. The price is strong, the battery is small, and charging is slow. For the right driver, someone who charges at home and stays mostly in the city, it can be very cheap to run. If you'll depend on public stations or drive long distances often, compare it with rivals that cost 250,000–300,000 TL more but charge at 100 kW on DC.

Whichever EV you choose, ADZE Charge has AC and DC stations at more than 50 locations across Turkey, ready for your next charging stop.
