Pakistan’s 2025 NEV Policy: A Green Roadmap for the Future of Electric Mobility
As the global transition toward cleaner transportation accelerates, Pakistan has made a major leap forward with the introduction of the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) Policy 2025–2030. This policy outlines the government’s ambitious goals and offers a wide range of incentives to promote the adoption of EV charging stations in Pakistan and stimulate the electric vehicle market.
Whether you’re an EV owner, investor, business owner, or energy stakeholder, this comprehensive guide breaks down everything you need to know about the EV Policy Pakistan and how it aligns with the country’s green mobility vision
Vision 2030: Electrifying Pakistan’s Roads
The new policy targets the following milestones:
- 30% of all new vehicle sales to be NEVs by 2030
- 50% NEVs by 2040, expanding to 100% NEVs by 2060
- 2 million electric vehicles (EVs) are projected to be on the road by 2030
- Estimated savings of over $1 billion in oil imports (equivalent to 2 billion liters)
This vision lays a solid foundation for developing an expansive and reliable electric vehicle charging network in Pakistan.
Demand-Side Incentives for Citizens
The policy is packed with lucrative subsidies and financing options for consumers:
- PKR 65,000 subsidy for electric 2-wheelers
- PKR 400,000 subsidy for electric 3-wheelers
- Up to PKR 15,000/kWh subsidy for 4-wheelers
- Green auto-financing reforms by the State Bank of Pakistan
- Leasing and EMI relaxation for EV buyers
- Zero registration tolls and lower fuel costs (EVs cost PKR 840/100 km vs PKR 2,600/100 km for petrol vehicles)
These interventions make EVs more accessible for everyday drivers.
Supply-Side Support for Industry
The NEV policy also aims to empower manufacturers, assemblers, and charging infrastructure developers:
- 61 licenses have been issued for 2/3W NEV manufacturers
- 90% localization goal for NEVs within 2 years
- Creation of 15,000 new jobs through NEV Skill Development Programs
- Establishment of new R&D and testing centers
- Supportive green trade policies and facilitation measures
This will lead to the creation of a robust EV ecosystem capable of producing local solutions and reducing dependence on imports.
EV Charging Infrastructure: The Heart of NEV Adoption
A reliable and widely accessible EV charging network in Pakistan is essential for the success of this policy. The government has detailed a comprehensive rollout plan:
- 3,000 public EV charging stations by 2030
- 40 fast chargers to be installed within the next 6 months
- 10% mandate for EV chargers at petrol stations
- Fixed charging tariffs set at PKR 39.70/kWh
- Integration of solar energy and smart metering
- Opportunity to utilize 126 TWh of surplus grid electricity
- Launch of a national real-time EV charging station locator app
ACharge is already playing a key role in this infrastructure, installing both residential and commercial EV chargers across Pakistan.
Whole-of-Government Ecosystem
The policy ensures collaboration between key government entities:
- NEVC for data governance, carbon credits, and testing
- EDB as regulatory body and secretariat
- Steering Committee comprising Finance, Climate, Energy, and Transport ministries
- Quarterly progress reviews and national action plans
- Green Vehicle Guide, communication portals, and consumer NEV education
Islamabad is set to become the Model City for EV adoption under this coordinated strategy.
Environmental and Socioeconomic Impact
The policy emphasizes long-term sustainability:
- Health and productivity gains: Over PKR 105 billion
- Significant reduction in PM2.5 emissions in major cities
- Circular economy initiatives: Battery recycling, e-waste management
- Carbon credit monetization for sustainability-linked financing
- Net GDP gain of PKR 731 billion from NEV adoption by 2030
