Frequently Asked Questions

Will all electric vehicles in Pakistan be taxed under the new policy?

No. Imported EVs valued up to $75,000 remain exempt from the newly approved excise duty.

What tax applies to EVs above $75,000?

EVs valued between $75,000 and $110,000 will face a 30% ad valorem tax.

What happens to EVs priced above $110,000?

They will be subject to a 40% ad valorem tax under the approved proposal.

Will locally assembled EVs be affected?

Based on currently available information, the proposal mainly targets imported EVs and luxury vehicles.

Why is the government introducing this tax?

The measure is intended to support revenue generation while maintaining incentives for mainstream EV adoption.

Final Verdict

Pakistan's newly approved excise duty represents one of the most significant tax changes affecting imported electric vehicles and luxury SUVs in recent years.

While ultra-premium EV buyers will face higher costs, the broader EV market appears largely protected thanks to the $75,000 exemption threshold. According to CarAdvisers, this suggests the government remains committed to supporting EV adoption while simultaneously broadening its revenue base.

The long-term success of the policy will depend on how consumers, importers, and automakers respond once implementation begins.

What do you think about Pakistan's new EV tax policy? Will it slow luxury EV adoption or encourage buyers to choose more affordable electric vehicles?
