Pakistan’s Electric Two-Wheeler Market Accelerates in 2025
In 2025, Pakistan continued to advance policy implementation and industrial development in the new energy vehicle (NEV) sector. In June 2025, the government officially launched the National Electric Vehicle Policy 2025–30 (NEV Policy 2025–30), which clearly stipulates that by 2030, 30% of all new vehicle sales nationwide must be electric. The policy provides financial subsidies and industrial support for electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers, aiming to reduce carbon emissions, lower fuel costs, and enhance local manufacturing capabilities. For the fiscal year 2025–26, the policy allocates an initial subsidy fund of approximately PKR 9 billion to support 116,053 electric bicycles and 3,171 electric three-wheelers. It also promotes industry growth through tax incentives, financing support, and manufacturing incentives. As a concrete implementation mechanism of the policy, the Pakistan Accelerated Vehicle Electrification Scheme (PAVE) has continued throughout 2025 to promote locally produced electric two-wheelers and distribute subsidies. The PAVE program is designed to make domestically manufactured electric motorcycles and scooters more affordable, while strengthening quality and safety standards and expanding industry scale. In October 2025, the announcement of Phase 2 introduced subsidies of up to 60% for electric motorcycles and scooters, further enhancing market appeal. Driven by these supportive policies, Pakistan’s electric two-wheeler market demonstrated strong momentum in 2025. According to statistics from Mobile World Magazine, total production of electric scooters and electric motorcycles reached 111,844 units between January and December 2025, underscoring their growing importance within the country’s mobility ecosystem. Electric scooters emerged as the dominant segment, with production reaching 105,121 units—accounting for nearly 94% of total output—while electric motorcycles totaled 6,723 units, representing approximately 6%. This clear structural gap indicates that consumers show a stronger preference for electric scooter models suited to daily urban commuting. The rapid expansion of market size is also reflected in the sharp increase in the number of companies and brands. Currently, 64 electric two-wheeler companies operate in Pakistan, covering around 70 brands. Together, they offer approximately 145 electric scooter models and 55 electric motorcycle models, forming a diverse product portfolio that meets varying consumer needs. Among them, 1000W models have become the most popular segment, capturing about 48% of the market share due to their balanced performance. Several Chinese brands are particularly active in Pakistan’s electric two-wheeler market, including YADEA, TAILG, LUYUAN, and AIMA. Together with local and other international brands, they are driving competition and innovation within the sector. In terms of product trends, best-selling models in 2025 include the Evee Gen-Z 1000W, the United Bullet 2000W, and the Okla-OKT lithium-ion scooter. Models equipped with graphene batteries and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery technology have also attracted widespread consumer attention. Overall, under the dual impetus of Pakistan’s NEV Policy and the PAVE program, the country’s electric two-wheeler market achieved remarkable growth in 2025. With fuel prices continuing to rise, charging infrastructure gradually improving, and consumers becoming increasingly focused on sustainable mobility, the electric scooter segment is expected to maintain strong growth momentum in the coming years.
