Pakistan has become one of the most polluted nations due to the rapid rise of motorbikes, with Lahore topping the list as the world's most polluted city. The excessive number of two- and three-wheeled vehicles have drastically increased vehicular pollution, which corresponds to severe environmental concerns. Solutions like introducing electric vehicles are in progress, but affordability remains a critical barrier for most citizens, hindering the transition from gas-powered vehicles to cleaner options.
Syed Raza Mohsin emphasizes the big challenge of affordability concerning electric vehicles in Pakistan. He believes that while there has been significant growth in the investment in EV technology by traditional car companies, the high prices are still a major barrier for the average citizen. The average annual income being as low as $1,035 means that if electric vehicles are priced out of reach for most, their adoption will remain minimal. Addressing this price issue is essential for wider EV acceptance.
