Electric Vehicles are the Great Beginning of the Modern Era.
For the past several years, inflation in Pakistan has been increasing rapidly because Pakistan is mostly dependent on oil. That is, the price of petrol has not increased on the petrol system. The price of everything increases and then the people have to face difficulties.
That is, Pakistan depends on oil imported from abroad to meet its energy needs and mobility needs. This not only puts pressure on exporting countries due to oil, but also increases global prices, which causes difficulties.
Electric vehicles run only on electricity, which you can use locally in any way, including hydroelectricity, solar systems, wind, and other sources. The price of batteries is falling, which is becoming an easy way to provide consumers with fast and affordable batteries. Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has announced to introduce all-electric vehicles at the local level, their manufacturing and easy financing, which will play an important role in promoting electric vehicles.
Regarding electric vehicles,
Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif announced electric bikes in a meeting held in Lahore, according to which more than one hundred thousand electric bikes will be provided, along with three thousand loaders and scooters, to the public on easy terms and at low cost, while this will also include government support.
Eligible Persons of this Scheme
It was announced that these one lakh bikes and more than 3,000 rickshaws and loaders will be provided exclusively to educational boards.
- Under this scheme, electric bikes will be provided free of cost to intermediate students of the Federal Board and educational boards across the country who will show high performance in the board.
- While a 25 percent quota has also been set for women. This has been set so that women can also be empowered and provided with facilities.
- If we talk about the provinces, they have been distributed in the morning in proportion to the population.
While Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif directed that the quota of Balochistan be increased 10 percent.
Further Announcements
Further announcements were made to further expand this scheme and it was announced to further increase the number of electric vehicles.
Not only this, but it was also announced to open four new and large battery companies across the country for their repair and batteries, which will create new business opportunities and provide employment to many people.

Benefits of Electric Vehicles
Prime Minister Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif has issued the Electric Vehicle Policy to make the environment calm and conducive because for the last few years, environmental pollution in Pakistan has been increasing at an alarming rate and Pakistan has become one of the countries that are facing the effects of severe weather changes.
- The shift towards these electric vehicles will help reduce the greenhouse gases in the air and at the same time it will also help significantly in reducing the effects of global warming.
- These electric vehicles are being introduced so that the rate of dangerous diseases caused by air pollution can be reduced in big cities i.e. Lahore, Karachi, Faisalabad.
- Electric vehicles emit zero tailpipe emissions and will reduce the rate of respiratory diseases by ensuring clean air.
- Electric vehicles will not only help in reducing pollution but will also reduce noise pollution as they produce absolutely normal and little noise due to which we will be able to achieve a more peaceful urban environment.
- Sustainable energy use is used to charge the batteries of electric vehicles. Reusable elements will be used, which will create a clean energy loop.
Charging centers will also be installed at different places in the areas so that the public does not face any difficulties.
Economic Impacts Financial Benefits
Pakistan is mostly dependent on other countries for oil and it is imported from outside countries and Pakistan spends billions of dollars on it annually and if electric vehicles are introduced into the environment, oil consumption will decrease. According to an estimate, if even a small portion of public transport is shifted to electric vehicles, then two to three billion dollars can be saved in annual expenses across the country.
Special Focus:
Electric Rickshaws and Two-Wheelers
A unique aspect of Pakistan’s transportation landscape is the high number of rickshaws and motorcycles. These vehicles are:
- Widely used in rural and urban settings
- Affordable for the masses
- Contributing to air and noise pollution
The Prime Minister’s policy prioritizes the replacement and production of electric rickshaws and two-wheelers.
Conclusion
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s electric vehicle policy marks a major turning point in Pakistan’s development strategy. With its focus on economic savings, environmental protection, and technological innovation, this policy has the potential to reshape the country’s future.
The path may be challenging, but with continued public support, private sector involvement, and governmental commitment, Pakistan can drive into a cleaner, cheaper, and more sustainable tomorrow.
