National , Incentives, and What You Must Know
Introduction: Shaping Pakistan’s Green Transport Future
In a decisive move towards sustainable mobility, the Government of Pakistan officially launched the National Electric Vehicle (NEV) Policy 2025–30—a comprehensive plan aiming to make 30% of new vehicle sales electric by 2030. The policy, delivered via a fully digital platform, allows users to online apply for subsidies, making it user-friendly, transparent, and accessible.
Key Policy Goals and Benefits
EV Adoption Targets and Environmental Gains
- 30% NEV target by 2030—covering two- and three-wheelers and gradually expanding to four-wheelers
- Expected annual environmental impacts:
- 2.07 billion liters of fuel saved
- USD 1 billion in foreign exchange retained
- 4.5 million tons of carbon emissions avoided
- USD 405 million healthcare cost savings
Financial Incentives & Subsidies
- Initial Rs 9 billion subsidy for FY 2025–26 supporting 116,053 electric bikes and 3,171 electric rickshaws .

- Direct consumer subsidies: Rs 65,000 for two-wheelers; Rs 400,000 for three-wheelers; support for four-wheelers up to Rs 15,000/kWh or 5% of invoice—whichever is lower.
- Funding mechanism: A levy imposed through the New Electric Vehicle Adoption Levy (NEVAL) on new ICE vehicle imports/sales funds EV subsidies and infrastructure .
Infrastructure Rollout & Industry Boost
Charging Network & Smart Technologies
- 40 fast-charging stations along motorways (spaced ~105 km apart) within months of rollout .
- Nationwide targeting of 3,000 charging stations by 2030; oil marketing companies to convert 10% of their stations into EV chargers .
- Incorporation of battery-swapping systems, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technologies, and mandatory EV charging in new building codes.
- Electricity tariff cuts: EV charger tariffs reduced (e.g., Rs 39.7 per kWh) and slashed by 45% earlier in 2025 to prop up affordable charging.
Supporting Local Manufacturing & SMEs
- Over 90% of parts for e-bikes and e-rickshaws are locally manufactured; locally produced EVs are 30-40% cheaper than imports .
- Government to extend AIDEP preferential tariffs until 2026, phased out by 2030 .
- Customized support packages for SMEs to participate in the EV value chain .
- Regulatory oversight via a steering committee and biannual audits by Auditor General to ensure transparency and performance.
