🏗️ Market Outlook & Infrastructure

Pakistan’s NEV Policy (2025–2030) aims to achieve 30% EV penetration among new vehicle sales by 2030 with incentives such as lower import duties, subsidies, and fast‑track approvals for charging stations. Private companies and energy firms plan to install hundreds of fast‑charging stations, especially along highways and in major cities, though grid stability and rural coverage remain challenging.

✅ Conclusion

2024 and early 2025 saw Pakistan transition from limited EV availability to a vibrant market featuring everything from budget urban hatchbacks to luxury sportscars. With upcoming models like Changan Lumin and BYD Shark entering the pipeline—and supportive policies in place—Pakistan’s EV scene is accelerating, though infrastructure and affordability challenges remain.
