Abstract :Electric vehicles are a good alternative to traditional fossil fuel vehicles with their cheap maintenance costs, low consumption, and environmentally friendly technologies. Considering that three-quarters of today\'s greenhouse gas emissions originate from transportation, the increase in the use of electric vehicles will greatly contribute to the achievement of decreasing environmental issues. In this study, it is aimed to rank zero-emission SUV-type electric vehicles that all are available for sale in Turkey with MEREC-based CoCoSo. In the study, vehicles are considered to an evaluation in four different scenarios, where they are combined, urban and highway travel situations and performance oriented. In each scenario, the Scenarios were evaluated under two headings with and without the price criterion. When the results are examined, it has been determined that the vehicles that are thought to have economical prices are in the last place in the rankings made with the CoCoSo method by objective weights.
