Electric Vehicles
Reports:
The Climate Action Center Karachi (CAC) is committed to transforming Pakistan's transportation sector into a sustainable, decarbonized model. Through comprehensive strategies including advocacy, ecosystem building, and stakeholder collaboration, we aim to promote electric vehicle (EV) adoption, reduce carbon emissions, and improve air quality across the country.
Our Mission
To lead the transformation towards sustainable decarbonized transportation in Pakistan by promoting EV adoption, advocating for policy alignment between federal, provincial, and city governments, building a comprehensive EV ecosystem, and facilitating collaboration among government, finance, industry, and the public during 2025-2027.
Our Vision
Decarbonized transport systems that enhance air quality, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and foster innovation and economic growth in the EV sector.
Ongoing Initiatives
1. Ecosystem Development
Collaborating with financial institutions, industry leaders, and technology providers to:
- Build sustainable financing models for EV purchase and infrastructure.
- Encourage the establishment of charging networks and maintenance services.
2. Driving the Future: Our EV Conferences
At the Climate Action Center (CAC), we believe electric mobility is not just a trend, it’s the future of sustainable cities. To turn that future into reality, we’ve brought together the brightest minds, boldest ideas, and key decision-makers through two landmark EV conferences.
1. Inaugural EV Conference, Karachi (December 2024):
Our Inaugural EV Conference put the spotlight on the National Electric Vehicle Policy (NEVP) 2025 Draft, creating a space where government officials, industry innovators, climate advocates, and finance experts could align on a shared roadmap. From charging infrastructure to consumer incentives, the conference sparked critical conversations that shaped the early landscape of Pakistan’s EV transition.
2. Second EV Conference, Lahore (February 2025):
Building on the Karachi momentum, our Lahore edition explored regional opportunities and roadblocks in Pakistan’s EV ecosystem. The event drew key players from finance, manufacturing, and public policy to connect and co-create actionable strategies for scaling EVs nationwide.
3. Advancing EV Awareness, Engagement & Policy
- Over the past two years, the Climate Action Center (CAC) has been actively shaping the path toward a decarbonized transport future by blending grassroots engagement with high-level policy advocacy.
- Through community-centered initiatives, including podcasts with experts, hands-on e-bike test ride events, and targeted workshops for youth, citizens, and key stakeholders, CAC has built widespread awareness around the benefits and practical realities of electric vehicle (EV) adoption in Pakistan.
- At the same time, CAC works across federal, provincial, and city-level governance to push for aligned, climate-forward policies. By facilitating dialogue, drafting proposals, and advocating for EV incentives and regulatory frameworks, CAC plays a critical role in enabling the structural shift needed for a clean mobility transition.
CAC engages with stakeholders at multiple levels of governance to:
- Facilitate the development of incentives and regulations that encourage EV adoption.
- Advocate for policy alignment between federal, provincial, and city governments.
