Power Minister Awais says tariff for electric charging stations cut by 45pc to Rs39

Power Minister Awais Leghari on Wednesday said that the government had made the “critical” decision to make electric vehicles (EVs) more available to the citizens, reducing the tariff to electric charging stations by 45 per cent.

Pakistan’s journey towards EVs began in 2016-2017, and the National Electric Vehicle (NEV) policy was officially launched in 2020, according to the Ministry of Climate Change. The initiative was launched as transportation accounts for 43pc of the airborne emissions in the country.
