What challenges does the electric vehicle market face in Pakistan?

The electric vehicle (EV) market in Pakistan faces a blend of challenges and opportunities as it transitions towards a more sustainable future. The transport sector, a significant consumer of carbon-intensive fuels (gasoline, diesel, CNG), contributes substantially to global GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions.

Can electric vehicles decarbonize Pakistan's transport sector?

This study highlights the critical role of electric vehicles in the decarbonization of Pakistan’s transport sector while at the same time ensuring economic and energy sustainability due to the high reliance of the country on imported fossil fuels.

Why should Pakistan invest in EVs?

Pakistan can substantially reduce its reliance on imported fossil fuels by incorporating EVs into its own domestically produced electricity. This not only boosts energy security but also protects the country from the volatile swings in global oil prices. EVs can also contribute to a new domestic industry, creating jobs and boosting economic growth.

Is electric vehicle adoption possible in Pakistan?

This study employs a mixed-method approach to comprehensively assess the potential for electric vehicle (EV) adoption in Pakistan. This work utilizes the Low Emission Analysis Platform (LEAP) model for a quantitative assessment. The LEAP evaluates the social, economic, and energy demand impacts of EV penetration in Pakistan under various scenarios.
