Too early to expect from Pakistan auto car market, which lacks to compete with conventional auto markets in the world in engine segment, however some announcement been made by some manufacturers to launch their products according to international standard in mind.
Opinion:
It required a lot of time to cope up with the international standards before to launch electric cars in Pakistan, although it may not directly link to conventional auto markets, but to get full access in the Pakistani market with electric vehicles, afraid to say this, it may not be seen in the near future due to many factors (missing infrastructure, no or faded government policy, zero local made electric car, less purchasing power, less awareness in public).
However regardless of too many hurdles, some companies took a brave step to introduce small low cost vehicles in Pakistan.
The top high end variant electric car will be expected in 2021 from china major auto manufacturing companies and Malaysian company proton.
