Electric Cars in Pakistan

Electric vehicles (EVs) have become increasingly popular, and many consumers now prefer them over traditional gasoline-powered cars. With numerous options now available in the market, selecting the right electric car can be daunting. If you’re considering an electric car in Pakistan, logicalbaat.com has compiled a comprehensive guide covering everything you need to know.

What Are Electric Cars?

Electric cars are vehicles that operate using an electric power motor instead of a traditional gasoline or diesel engine. Unlike traditional cars, electric vehicles lack gears and operate similarly to automatic vehicles when in “drive” mode. When the accelerator is depressed, power is transmitted from the battery to the electric motor, which turns the drive shafts and moves the wheels. The motor also acts as an alternator when the car brakes, producing power stored in the battery for future use. If you’re curious to learn more about electric cars, this article provides a comprehensive overview.

Different Types of Electric Cars

There are a variety of electric cars, based on the power sources.

Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV)

Battery-powered electric vehicles rely solely on batteries for power and require a plug-in source for charging, whether at home, work, or charging stations. These cars do not have an engine as the batteries power the vehicle and are recharged externally. The Tesla Model S is a prime example of a battery-powered electric vehicle.

Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV)

Hybrid electric cars have two distinct power sources: the car’s engine and battery charger. These models are gaining popularity in Pakistan and are the most commonly seen hybrid electric vehicles on the roads.

Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV)

Electric cars with plug-in charging feature work like battery electric vehicles (BEVs) when the batteries are fully charged. However, when the battery charging is low, the car’s engine comes into action and powers the batteries. Although vehicles with this technology, known as plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), exist, they are not widely available in Pakistan due to their higher cost. Examples of PHEVs include the Toyota Prius PHEV and the MG HS PHEV.

How Does an Electric Car Work?

Once an electric vehicle (EV) is started, its batteries transfer electric current to the power control unit, which regulates power distribution and output throughout the entire electrical system of the vehicle. The electric motor, powered by this current, drives the car by rotating the turbine. Typically, electric motors are mounted in pairs on wheels or axles. The acceleration of electric cars is almost instantaneous due to the absence of lag in the electric current reaching various parts of the electrical system. The high power ratings of electric motors, coupled with these factors, contribute to the efficiency of electric cars.

Electric Cars Policy in Pakistan

The federal cabinet, under the leadership of former Prime Minister Imran Khan, approved the National Electric Vehicles (EV) Policy, which aims to have 30% of all vehicles on Pakistan’s highways run on electricity by 2030. At a joint press conference, attended by former Federal Minister for Climate Change Malik Amin Aslam and former Special Assistant to the PM on Information Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan, the country’s environmental challenges were discussed. The government is taking multiple steps to implement the EV policy in a short period of time, according to Mr. Malik. Pakistani automakers have also shown strong interest in and pledged their involvement in the project, as per the climate change minister.
