Pakistan has introduced its New Energy Vehicle (NEV) Policy 2025-30 to reduce emissions and fuel dependence. However, voices within the auto industry, like Syed Asif Ahmed from MG Motors, emphasize the need for a pricing overhaul in the sector. While acknowledging the positive step of the policy, Ahmed highlights the unaffordability of local Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEVs) for the average Pakistani consumer, making them more of a luxury for a niche market. He advocates for a transition towards more accessible Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs), which are better suited for urban use and offer tangible electric range benefits. The NEV Policy 2025-30 officially classifies EVs, PHEVs, and hydrogen-powered vehicles as 'New Energy Vehicles', aligning with global standards. Criticism is raised against past tax incentives that favored traditional hybrids, benefiting larger automotive companies over environmental and public interests. MG Motors leads by example with the MG HS PHEV, the first locally assembled Plug-in Hybrid SUV in Pakistan, offering a balance of electric-only range, powerful performance, and cost-effectiveness. With a focus on technological advancements and affordability, the shift towards PHEVs in the Pakistani market signals a positive step towards sustainable transportation solutions.
