Pakistan has introduced new rules and regulations to promote charging stations for electric vehicles (EV) and the wider industry of electric vehicles, with the support of the Special Investment Facilitation Council (SIFC), announced Sunday responsible.
The government aims to have 30% of the country’s vehicles during electric energy by 2030, a decision that should increase the development of infrastructure, including the manufacture of electric vehicles, motorcycle production and load networks.
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has announced a 44% reduction in electricity rates for EV charging stations, a measure intended to encourage investments in the sector.
In addition, the government has introduced an accelerated fifteen -day recording process for charging stations, which should attract national and foreign investors.
As part of a broader initiative, Pakistan plans to convert ten million motorcycles into electric, a quarter of work that could allow the country $ 6 billion per year by reducing fuel imports.
Managers say that adoption EV will also strengthen the local manufacturing industry while reducing carbon emissions and improving environmental conditions.
The creation of electric vehicle infrastructure marks an important step in the transition of Pakistan’s own energy, with political decision -makers on long -term economic and environmental advantages.
