Pakistan's EV Market Reaches a Turning Point

The upcoming launch pipeline clearly demonstrates that automakers are preparing for a future driven by electrification.

Industry experts estimate that Pakistan spends between $10 billion and $15 billion annually on fuel imports. As a result, policymakers continue to support EV adoption through reduced taxation and incentives for local assembly.

The upcoming Auto Policy 2026-31 is expected to further encourage investments in EV manufacturing, battery technologies, and charging infrastructure.

For the first time, EVs and PHEVs are not limited to premium SUVs. Automakers are now introducing electric hatchbacks, executive sedans, pickup trucks, and family crossovers.

Greater model variety

Better technology features
Increased resale opportunities in emerging EV categories

The second half of 2026 could become one of the most important periods in Pakistan's automotive history.
