6 Reasons Why People Still Have Doubts About Electric Cars in Pakistan
The current government seems to be in an aggressive pursuit of introducing environmentally-friendly means of transportation in Pakistan. The Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Industry and Production have been quite active as of late in their endeavors to promote Electric Vehicles (EVs) in Pakistan.
Recently, an EV policy for two-wheeled and three-wheeled vehicles has also been enacted, which offers several incentives to the buyers and owners of such EVs, and an EV Policy for 4-wheeled vehicles shall be made a part of the Automotive Industry Development and Export Plan (AIDEP) 2021-26 that is expected to be released in the 2nd half of the 2021 calendar year.

The viability of electric vehicles in Pakistan
The foremost hurdle to climb-over is to establish electric stations across congested metropolitan areas of the country
Pakistan has its eyes anchored on a transition to electric vehicles (EVs). The government wishes to make around 100,000 cars and more than half a million two and three wheelers electric in the coming years. Given the recurring freak events (due to climate change), the government’s intentions are legitimate. The fact that air pollution takes away nearly 135,000 lives in Pakistan in a year and costs around 5-6% of the GDP validates the idea further. However, the execution of the strategy is no walk in the park. The journey is full of unidentified challenges and may demand a more exhaustive effort than what one may expect.
