The local automotive market is currently experiencing a surge in popularity for hybrid and electric vehicles. In response to this trend, domestic car manufacturers are transitioning from conventional internal combustion engine technology to electric powertrains.
Like petrol cars, carmakers have also started offering EVs. In a recent event, Dewan Motors have decreased the booking price of both the variants of its mini-EV “Honri Ve”. ( 2.0 & 3.0)
New Booking Price
The booking price for Honri Ve 2.0 is slashed by Rs. 500,000 taking it to the new Rs. 1,500,000 from the previous 2,000,000. Meanwhile, you can book Honri Ve 3.0 at the reduced price of Rs. 2,000,000 compared to old Rs. 2,500,000. Meaning, the booking price for the 3.0 is also dropped by Rs. 5,000,000.
Specs & Features Of Honri Ve 3.0
The Honri Ve 3.0 can travel up to 300 km on a single charge, according to the official CLTC), Charging the car from empty to full takes only 7 hours using a regular outlet at home.
The car packs a punch with a permanent magnet synchronous motor delivering 35 kW of power and 87 Nm of torque. This translates to a comfortable driving experience with a maximum speed of 100 km/h. The 29.9 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery is known for its durability and long life.
But that’s not all! The Honri Ve 3.0 comes with features to make every drive enjoyable and convenient. Drivers can choose between Economy and Sports mode depending on their mood and road conditions. The car also features:
Safety Features
Dewan Motors prioritizes safety in the Honri Ve 3.0. The car is equipped with:
- Anti-lock braking system (ABS) and electronic brake-force distribution (EBD)
- Driver airbag
- Reverse camera and rear parking radar
- ISOFIX child seat interfaces
- Low-speed pedestrian warning system
- Automatic locking while driving and unlocking after a collision.

They are EV graveyards in China, thus don’t launch EV in our country, we don’t want it to become an EV junkyards, stop launching those EV

Please watch these two videos on the subject of small EVs in china.

These small EVs are very famous in China. Especially in the city of Liu Zhou. Every street in the city is filled with them and people love them. Not only there but all over china! You can see the second video which is of a convention for small EV manufacturers. Something very common and loved in China.
Not only that, in the first link (a short documentary on the small EV) the presenter himself admits that because of the prevalence of the small EVs in Liu Zhou city, the noise pollution because of ICE engines and more importantly the smoke/exhaust pollution and smells are not there. The presenter seemed presently surprised that he could smell nature like rain, grass and the trees but no polluting smells.
The small EVs are not in “graveyards” in china. They are a testament to the fact how small, affordable, daily commuter EVs can be a boon for the masses and also help clean up cities in a BIG way. Something we need desperately here in Pakistan.
@Ali Khan
Are you working for them ?
No because you should be blind to not see how unvirtous are EV, they generates desastrous pollution during production, far higher than an ICE to the point today for an EV to catch the level of pollution of an ICE, someone had to drive at least 40 000 KM and THEN the pollution of EV become the same level of ICE and starting to fall, and is not 100% neutral, because tires generate more pollution, since cars are heavier, they use more of the tires’s rubber and quicker
For noise pollution, i’am driving a petrol (gazoline) powered car wich is a 4 cylinders engines, previously i got a diesel engine, well the petrol engine is quiter, petrole cars don’t generate much of noise pollution, only big engine like V shaped engine and the famous small 3 cylinders engines, generate noise, some are famous for their melody like AMG, anyway a gazoline engine is not a diesel engine, diesel engine always generate a lot of noise, as well the little 3 cylinder petrol engines, that’s remind why i’am favoring Proton Saga in Pakistan over all the little 3 cylinders hatchback, 3 cylinders petrol engine are know worldwide for their noise and vibrations, whatever is the brands.
For the pollution in the country, is a big subject, don’t want to talk much, but a few point here is we didn’t care much of the natural environnement, only recently we are planting more trees.
Tree have the virtues to absorb carbone dioxyd
The only solution today for ecological car are classic Hybrid for our country, wich have a battery lifespan of 10 years
And for the last decade, beleive me ICE made a lot of progress when it comes to fuel consumption and pollution reduction, yes since euro 5 actualy
PS : everyone can check the EV graveyard in China, thus i want to protect my country environment, i insist don’t buy EV
@Waqas
Buddy, I can ask you this same strange question. “Are you working for them I.E. ICE car manufacturers”.
I have provided you with actual facts many times before about the EV lifecycle vs the ICE lifecycle and how EV has always come out on top in every credible study. If I remember we have had this “EV so heavy, it ruin tire” talk before. Again, with facts I proved to you how this not accurate. But just for kicks:
The Honri EV being discussed is around 900KG.
A JDM Suzuki Wagon R is around 850KG. The older models were a bit heavier at around 900KG
An Average Toyota Passo is around 950 to 1000KG. (FWD or AWD)
A Toyota Raize averages around 1050 to 1100KG. (FWD or AWD)
So, is it as “catastrophically” heavier as you make it out to be? Each tire type has its weight rating range. The Honri EV easily falls under normal weight loads. Even normal tires would be just fine.
Granted bigger EV cars are heavier but as I pointed this out to you before, they use EV rated tires and EVs have regenerative breaking as standard. Many EV owners say that that provides more than enough breaking assistance to minimize break-ware.
If you like the noise ICE engines make that is your choice. Many people do. But personal preference is not the issue here. These “Nice noises” adding up to cause serious noise pollution is the issue. EVs simply reduce this. Its fact.
As for your EV graveyards. Here are some factual articles for you…

Read all the articles if you want the facts. The “graveyard” always shown is the only one in Hangzhou city. It is not of thousands of new EVs, rather they are a few hundred old EVs. They were the rental EV fleet of a ride share business that went bust. You can see all the links I provided. In some of the articles even the pictures are the same. This one “graveyard” has also been passed off by the media as an EV graveyard in France!
This anti-EV propaganda, I have debunked for you so many times. But I think I understand your resistance; why believe in boring facts when conspiracy yarns are so much more fun right?
@Ali Khan
Conspiracy ??? So you are a political man, no wonder you never accepted you were wrong once, and you believe the mainstream media, , i guess for you it was arab dude from desert who striked the WTC in 9/11
Well i hope you will open your mind and accept the thruth
The reality is beyond your imagination believe me
every link you put is almost only vlog, car insurance company in the past shared link etc in otherword you are biazed
You have to accept it an EV is not recyclable
Even Audi claim many times they will come with a solution for the batteries of EV well today they are none
EV graveyard is a reality everyone can check, all the articles you put are brainwashing
Just an example with your first link :
https://insideevs.com/news/681742/truth-about-china-ev-graveyard/
It is giving a reason or an excuse for one of the graveyard and it come from an EV website (Surprise !)
but why don’t he talk about the future of this cars, will they be recycled ? sales again ? Why chineses didn’t buy it ?
At some point accept the thruth stop being biazed, the sooner is better
A few days ago pakwheels was sharing a news about porsche who will continue ICE at least until 2030, and it will still continue to that direction, i’am warning for a very long time against EV
Unfortunetely, many people from our country want to copy the West and China without learning from their mistakes, and you are part of them
I will finish with some popular word you would hear everywhere in Pakistan :
They are no electricity : Bighly Koy nahi he (sorry for the misswrite)
They are no charging station
Ev range is poor, heavy
@Ali Khan
Don’t talk about France, because today here we have one of the worst world’s government, they believe in shaytan, with the olympic games ceremony, now everyone understand olympic games = shyatan games
@Waqas
I love it when facts break your kind of mind in real time.
You accuse me of “believe the mainstream media”. Yet when I present an article to you of a journalist (not from the “mainstream media”) doing his job and actually getting to the bottom of a story that is being misrepresented by the mainstream media, you deny its validity because now it is “an EV website/blog”. Always have an alibi ready right?
Used EV sales are going up. Battery recycling is increasing in the world and we are getting better at it with each passing year. China as usual is the world leader even in this field. Furthermore, used batteries are being repurposed for static power backup applications in the home and commercial sectors. Not all cells in a used battery go bad at the same time. The good ones are repurposed. How many times have we had THIS conversation before?!

Over a hundred years ago, in the last decade of the 1800s, when ICE cars first came on the scene. There were NO petrol stations. People used to get fuel from the corner oil dealers or chemist shops. The first petrol station did not come on to the scene until 1905. And it took decades for them to become common worldwide. I’m sure the horse owners or those selling horses made this same kind of point that “these horseless carriages are so stupid where will you get fuel for them. You can’t take them anywhere”. Now look where we are!
EV stations will become common once EV sales reach a certain point. Don’t worry about that! Even in the US and Europe and China, the Electric Vehicle came well before any EV charging stations.
But hey, judging from your comment, you will say anything to deny the facts; going from 9/11 to some rant about France. WOW!!!
So, thank you for proving correct (IN SPADES!!!) the last sentence of my previous comment.
@Ali Khan
I’am trying to provide the link about how difficult is to recycle the batteries, but Pakwheels aren’t allowing
You are in luck
Thus i invite people to look for how difficult it is to recycle batteries
https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20220105-lithium-batteries-big-unanswered-question
@waqas
I understand where you are coming from. Battery recycling has still a lot of hurdles. However, your article is from TWO YEARS ago. A LOT has changed since then. The links I shared attest to that and the world is moving in the right direction.
Just like with oil drilling on land or at sea or fracking for oil etc. (and coal mining for that matter), lithium mining is also bad for the environment. That is the why the need for recycling is so great. It reuses almost all the materials in a battery cell. Not only that, it is more environmentally friendly to recycle the batteries and reuse good/serviceable old batteries in other applications.
Currently, the main issue is its still more expensive to recycle. However, many companies are investing heavily because they see the potential. The more businesses which get into recycling and the more R&D, the costs will eventually come down. Lots of money to be made!🤑 And the article you shared also attests to the fact that China is the leader when it comes to recycling/repurposing used batteries.
