Sindh starts registration of electric vehicles

The registration process started amid rapid environmental change and the increasing demand for electric cars and motorbikes.

Worldwide people showed their interest in electric vehicles (EVs) and now the trend is being adopted in Pakistan.

People in Pakistan are also excited regarding the prospect.

Last year in December, the government approved Pakistan’s first five-year Electric Vehicle (EV) policy for cars to facilitate the auto industry.

In July, Prime Minister Imran Khan launched Pakistan's first-ever environmentally-friendly electric motorbike (E-bike).

"E-vehicles were important for Pakistan as they would help reduce environmental pollution," said Premier.

Reportedly, e-bike had been manufactured by a Pakistani company, Jolta Electric, and was considered a major step towards electrifying the country’s automobile industry.

The company has various models with different speed specifications from 10 to 60 kilometers per hour and can cover a distance after full charge from 60 to 100 kilometers.
