Interesting claims about the economics of EVs vs hybrid and ICE vehicles.
“Talking to media on Wednesday, he said that 30,000 EVs were estimated to consume 1pc of Pakistan’s generation capacity. “One unit of electricity is being sold at Rs50 so Rs2,000 will be required to charge 40 kWh battery to get the mileage of less than 180km. This translates into the cost of Rs11 per km to the consumer,” he said.
“On the other hand, the HEV’s cost is Rs5 per kilometre and internal combustion engine (ICE) cost is around Rs9.3 per km, which is way much efficient for the consumer in comparison with EVs so a sane choice will be either HEV or ICE,” he added.”
Electricity 50 ruppees per unit??
And seems like the assemblers have gotten their way.
“ Pama and Paapam lauded government efforts to formulate the policy as universally accepted by key players.”
