Turkey has two population clusters, one in the western side of the country along the Istanbul - Ankara - Izmir triangle, whose population is largely Turkish and connected to Europe. The second, much poorer population cluster (1/3 the size of the first) is in the Kurdish-dominated southeast whose economy is based on its interaction with the Middle East. As long as you don’t jump clusters you’re very well within the range of this car, which seems to have a 300mi range in theory. It remains to be seen how this will work in reality, but on paper it sounds plausible.

Not sure if you can call southeast Kurdish-dominated. Adana, Gaziantep & Mersin are the largest cities there, neither is Kurdish-dominated.

Anyway, even within western side, İstanbul — Antalya is ~700km, and İzmir — Ankara is ~600km, both over 300mi (~500km).
