BYD Pakistan, a joint venture between China's BYD and Mega Motors, forecasts that up to 50% of auto sales in Pakistan will be electric vehicles (EVs) by 2030.
Having entered the Pakistani market last month, BYD Pakistan plans to introduce EVs later this year and open an assembly plant by early 2026.
However, reaching this ambitious target may be difficult due to existing infrastructure challenges. To address this, BYD Pakistan is collaborating with oil companies to establish 20-30 charging stations and is focusing on locally assembled vehicles to navigate import duty issues.
