Regal Automobiles Leads with Pakistan’s First Locally Produced Electric SUV
Regal Automobiles, a prominent player in Pakistan’s automotive industry, has secured a license from the Engineering Development Board (EDB) to locally assemble Pakistan’s first electric SUV, the Seres 3. This milestone reflects Pakistan’s growing commitment to embracing electric mobility.
Available in two variants, the Seres 3 (3.5) with a 49kWh battery and the Seres 3 (4.0) with a 54kWh battery, the SUV is competitively priced at Rs8.399 million, offering Pakistani consumers an advanced yet affordable EV option. Regal plans to begin production at its state-of-the-art facility in Manga Mandi, Lahore, with vehicles expected to roll out by December.

Muhammad Adeel Usman, Managing Director of Seres Pakistan, shared his excitement about the launch, stating that it represents a critical step toward sustainable automotive solutions in Pakistan. Customers who pre-book the SUV will be prioritised for the 54kWh battery variant, promising a vehicle with increased range and performance.
Dewan Farooque Motors and Eco-Green Motors Set the Pace with Honri Ve
In another significant development, Dewan Farooque Motors Limited (DFML) has partnered with Eco-Green Motors to produce locally assembled EVs. The Honri Ve models 2.0 and 3.0 have been introduced to the Pakistani market, marking DFML as a key player in Pakistan’s shift to electric vehicles.

These compact electric hatchbacks come with features like a 30kW synchronous motor and Ternary Lithium Battery, boasting a range of 200 km per charge for the 2.0 and up to 300 km for the 3.0. The assembly facility in Sajawal is now rolling out units, signaling an era of expanded accessibility to EV technology in Pakistan.
The Honri Ve 3.0 model, with its 35kW motor and lithium iron phosphate battery, is designed to deliver long-lasting performance and a smooth driving experience. Equipped with advanced features like a rearview camera, tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and a 10.25-inch infotainment screen, the Honri Ve 3.0 exemplifies a commitment to convenience and safety for Pakistani consumers looking for affordable EV options.
Chinese EV Giants Enter Pakitani Market
China’s leading EV manufacturers are also venturing into Pakistan. BYD, one of the largest EV producers globally, has announced its entry into Pakistan, joining a wave of new EV brands such as Xiaomi, whose models are expected to be available soon. These partnerships and entries are anticipated to drive innovation in Pakistan’s EV sector and provide much-needed competition, benefiting the end consumer with improved features and competitive prices.

Government Support and Policy Initiatives for Pakistan’s Locally Produced Electric Cars
To foster a supportive environment for EV manufacturers, the Pakistani government has been actively issuing licenses for EV production. Since 2022, 49 licenses for the production of two- and three-wheeled EVs have been granted, with 25 factories now operational.
Recently, Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif emphasized the importance of an Electric Vehicles policy to accelerate this sector’s growth, directing authorities to finalize the policy by November. The government is also working on creating a network of charging stations along major highways and city centers, crucial infrastructure that will encourage broader EV adoption.
An innovative incentive program is also in the works: e-motor bikes will be distributed to high-performing students in government schools, offering a unique way to promote EVs among younger generations. Additionally, the government is exploring financial models to make EVs more accessible, aiming to reduce dependency on petrol and diesel and cut down on emissions, which align with Pakistan’s environmental goals.
The Future of Pakistan’s EV Market
With local brands like Regal Automobiles and DFML collaborating with international players, Pakistan’s EV sector is set for substantial growth. As companies establish more facilities and expand production, consumers are likely to benefit from better pricing and more variety in EV options. The EV shift, while still in its early stages, is expected to create a ripple effect, contributing to job creation, technology transfer, and a boost in Pakistan’s industrial capacity.

Conclusion
Pakistan’s budding EV industry is on track to revolutionize the automotive market with localized production, international partnerships, and government support. The next few years will be critical in determining the pace and depth of this transformation. With initiatives underway to develop affordable and environmentally friendly transportation, Pakistan is poised to become a noteworthy player in the global EV market.
