Did you know Pakistan spent $5.1 billion on oil imports in 2024 alone? That’s a massive drain on the economy. Source: Reuters #Oil #import #Pakistan

The main culprit? The transport sector. It gobbles up nearly 80% of all fuel used in Pakistan. (Source: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute)

So, what’s the solution? Switching to electric vehicles (EVs) could save billions by cutting down on fuel imports. #ElectricVehicles

Studies show that by 2060, Pakistan could save a whopping $64 billion in oil import costs by embracing EVs. That money could fuel development and clean energy projects instead. source: Islamabad Policy Research Institute

But here’s the catch: to realise these savings, Pakistan needs a coherent, long-term and just policy shift in which New Energy Vehicle Policy 2025–2030 is a positive first step. Without that, we’re stuck paying the oil bill. #NewEnergyVehiclePolicy

The Government of Punjab will now give you Rupees 1 Lac if you switch to an E-bike

Can #electricvehicles (EVs) save our cities?
