Electric Cars in Pakistan - Electric Cars Price in Pakistan 2021

The electric car is a new trend in Pakistan. Electric cars are becoming more and more popular due to their environmental friendliness, lower running costs, ease of use, and the convenience of charging overnight. This blog post will give you information about buying an electric car in Pakistan.

What is an electric car?

An electric vehicle (EV) uses one or more electric motors as its power source instead of gasoline or diesel fuel. Fuel cells can also produce electricity to drive an electric motor when hydrogen gas is the fuel source. EVs do not need an external energy supply because they store it all within themselves!

How much does it cost?

The price varies depending on what kind you get - but generally speaking, you'll be looking at around 900,000 to PKR 52,000,000 for a good quality electric car.

What are the benefits?

Aside from helping you save money on petrol, electric cars are also much better for the environment - producing zero emissions!

How long does it take to charge?

Generally speaking, an electric car will take between four and eight hours to fully charge, depending on the car's specification.

Audi is known to be one of the best luxury car manufacturers in Pakistan.

In March 2020, Audi Pakistan will debut the Audi e-Tron, a mid-size premium crossover SUV with all-electric power. The e-Tron is the first electric automobile produced by a major manufacturer in Pakistan as a result of the country's National Electric Vehicle Policy announcement in January.

The Audi e-Tron is the automaker's first foray into the EV market, with a 71 kWh lithium-ion battery in the base 50 Quattro model (currently only available), for a stated range of around 300 km on a single charge. The e-Tron has a twin motor setup and four-wheel drive thanks to two electric motors – one upfront and one in the rear.

The V-engines from the Audi e-Tron, which feature an output of 402 horsepower and 664 newton-meters of torque, are connected directly to a hybrid powertrain. The vehicle features a 22 kW charging system that is placed in the user's house and allows for complete charging in roughly 5-6 hours. A portable 11 kW charger is also provided and may be plugged into any AC outlet while the car is in motion to charge it.

The Audi e-Tron is a fully electric SUV that goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.7 seconds and has a maximum speed of 200 km/h that is electronically limited. The car comes with a variety of safety features, including 13 airbags, ABS, and traction control. In addition to the standard e-Tron model, Audi Pakistan also offers the vehicle in a Sportback version. On the spot, the Audi e-Tron costs Rs. 16,580,000.

MG is a British automotive marque that was revived in 2019 as an electric vehicle startup. MG's first electric car, the ZS EV, hit Pakistani showrooms in November of 2019.

The Hightrees is a new entrant to the Pakistani automobile market, having launched three models in 2018, including the HS, ZS 1.5, and ZS EV SUVs. The firm has already received 10,000 reservations for the gasoline-powered HS and will begin taking deposits for the ZS 1.5 and ZS EV shortly. The ZS EV is a battery-powered version of the ZS subcompact crossover SUV.

The vehicle has a 44.5 kWh battery and one motor that drives the front wheels (there are no rear-wheel motors). The car has a stated range of 262 kilometers and produces 105 kW and 350 Nm of torque. With a CCS (Combined Charging System) public charger rated at 80 kW DC power, or with a Type 2 7.4 kW AC charger at home, the automobile may be charged quickly during the day. Daytime Running Lights, parking sensors, and an in-car entertainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are among the features included with the vehicle.

MG WILL BUILD the ZS EV in Pakistan, and CBU vehicles are presently being tested on the road. The price of the ZS EV has yet to be announced by MG, but it will likely cost around Rs. 6 million.

In 2019, BMW unveiled the company's first electric vehicle in 15 years. The iX is a crossover SUV that can be charged from an outlet or recharged to 80 percent of its capacity in 40 minutes when plugged into one of several DC fast chargers available along major highways worldwide.

The BMW iX is the most recent model to join this list, which was introduced in November 2020. The BMW iX is one of the newest models from the German luxury vehicle manufacturer's range, and it comes from the I subbrand of BMW. The car has a battery with a capacity of 100 kWh that enables it to drive 600 kilometers on one charge.

The BMW iX is a hybrid which has all the features of one. It also features four-wheel drive and motors on each axle, similar to the Audi e-Tron. The vehicle boasts 500 horsepower (370 kW) and can reach from 0 to 100 km/h in 5 seconds. For iX, there are two charging options: a 200 kW DC rapid charger and a secondary 11 kW AC charger.

The iX can be fully charged in 11 hours using the 11 kW AC charger and recharged from 10% to 80% in 40 minutes with the fast charger. The iX is BMW's first premium car with a 5G connection and numerous technological features, including iDrive and driver-assistive technology. The vehicle includes a number of sensors and cameras that are supposed to give it Level 3 autonomous driving abilities in theory. BMW has yet to reveal the price of the iX.

Zotye is a Chinese automaker that entered the Pakistani market in 2019 with the launch of two electric cars, the Zotye E20 and Zotye Cloud 100.

Zotye Z100 is a Chinese subcompact hatchback produced by Zotye Auto and imported into Pakistan by Topsun Motors. The vehicle is comparable to Suzuki Alto, and Topsun Motors plans to bring the petrol version of the Z100 to Pakistan in the near future. Topsun Motors said during an interview with PakWheels that it plans to bring the all-electric Cloud 100 to market as soon as the government passes electric car legislation.

According to a corporate representative, the firm was eager to debut the electric model and had models on hand to be sent from China. Now that the ECC has approved the plan, it appears that is still the case. The Zotye Cloud 100 will feature a 27 kW motor in the front axle that will propel the front wheels and generate 140 Nm of torque.

The sports vehicle will be built on the Ford Ikon platform. It comes with an electric motor that produces a power of 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, mated to a three-speed automatic transmission. A 17.76 kWh battery provides an EPA-certified driving range of 155 kilometers per charge on a single charge when driven at 65 mph (which is fine for everyday commuting). When it is released, the automobile is projected to cost roughly Rs. 1.8 million.

The Pakistani car industry knows Sigma Motorsports as the Trend Changes. They introduced the Sigma HS Q4 EVS Standard, as well as two additional variations, this month. The standard model is entirely electric; the EVS Solar variant is solar-powered and electric, and the EVS Premium version is solar-powered and electric with gasoline capability. Since this post is only about Pakistan's electric cars, we'll just talk about the electric model. Four vibrant hues are available: orange, blue, white, and red.

Conclusion

More vehicles are anticipated to join the list in the near future after Pakistani firms seal deals with foreign EV manufacturers to bring their cars to Pakistan. The Rahmat Group has established a partnership with BYD, a Chinese electric vehicle firm, to produce electric batteries and sell them in Pakistan.

In addition, Proton has teamed up with Al-Haj Automotive in Pakistan to bring electric vehicles to the country. Nissan, Hyundai, and Renault have all indicated their intention to bring electric cars to Pakistan. Given these trends, it is reasonable to anticipate that Pakistani electrical automobiles will grow in popularity in the future years.
