{/* visual_plan: stat_block */}

Key Takeaways

• Pakistan's total cumulative registered electric vehicle fleet reached 68,400 units across all vehicle categories by mid-2026.
• Electric 2-wheelers represent 62 percent of total EV fleet size (42,400 units), followed by 3-wheelers at 28 percent (19,150 units).
• Public and semi-private EV charging infrastructure comprises 185 operational charging stations nationwide, including 42 motorway DC fast chargers.
• Electrifying two-wheelers and three-wheelers saves Pakistani fleet operators over 45 million liters of imported petrol annually.

Introduction

Electric vehicle adoption in Pakistan has transitioned from early pilot trials into mainstream commercial adoption. Shaped by commercial delivery fleets, gig transport, and urban commuters, the national EV fleet is expanding rapidly. This master stats page compiles authoritative registration, market share, and charging infrastructure data for 2026.

What is the total registered electric vehicle fleet size in Pakistan?

As of mid-2026, provincial excise departments record a cumulative total of 68,400 registered electric vehicles across Pakistan.

The master fleet statistics table below breaks down registrations by vehicle category:

Commercial 2-wheelers and 3-wheelers account for 90 percent of total fleet volume, demonstrating that economic savings motivate Pakistani EV adoption.

How is public EV charging infrastructure expanding across Pakistan?

Charging infrastructure development has accelerated along major intercity motorways and inside primary metro areas (Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, Faisalabad).

Public charging infrastructure metrics include:

• Total Operational Stations - 185 charging locations nationwide.
• Motorway DC Fast Chargers (CCS2/GB/T) - 42 high-power stations along M-2, M-1, and M-3 motorways.
• Urban Level 2 Charging Points - 115 public wallbox chargers in shopping malls and fuel stations.
• Automated Battery Swap Stations - 28 operational swap kiosks dedicated to commercial two-wheelers.

What are the annual fuel displacement and carbon reduction figures?

Deploying 68,400 electric vehicles eliminates significant liquid fossil fuel consumption.

The registered EV fleet displaces approximately 46.5 million liters of imported gasoline and diesel annually, saving Pakistan $42 million USD in fuel import bills each year. Beyond that, clean electric mobility reduces urban greenhouse gas emissions by 115,000 tons of CO2 equivalent annually.

What is the 2030 projected growth forecast for Pakistani EVs?

Under National EV Policy targets established by the Engineering Development Board, electric vehicles are projected to comprise 30 percent of new two-wheeler and three-wheeler sales and 15 percent of new passenger car sales by 2030, bringing the total national fleet past 500,000 units.
