EV Mehran...

[Fish]

A million rupees to convert a rackety old Mehran into a crappy EV that will go like 75 KM / 45 Miles on a single charge.

Pass.

Still, the idea is intriguing, especially if you've a million rupees burning a hole in your pocket. Should be a great around-town car for people living in car-centric 'burbs like Bahria Town, etc.

But still, I'd much rather putter around on a 70.

Jugaad. Well whatever works it can do well in city rides and he's getting a mind boggling 80Wh/Km milage. The petrol prices are through the roof. I bought an EV 2 months back, already travelled 3000 Km on it and it costs me like 8k PKR for this. And the car costs around PKR 5.5m

This abomination of a vehicle is as deadly as the Indian Mig21.

The problem here is that most of our power is generated by imported furnace oil anyway so it's not like embracing EVs will help shrink our trade deficit or perhaps put a dent in our carbon footprint.

This is impressive, I hope uncle peaks interest of some big wigs in the private sector so he can monetise it. EV is the future.

It is a Tata Nexon EV, 30KWh battery gives me around 250Km range on a single charge.

Yeah, TBH I didn't buy the car for reducing carbon footprint or such stuff. I'm sure most didn't buy it because of that, I bought one because I am paying a crazy amount for petrol. The govt provides some PKR-2.5Lakh rebate in road tax, bank interest rate is 0.5% lower than gas vehicles and I get around PKR 4Lakh in Income tax rebate on interest paid for the loan. That's the only reason I switched.

This vehicle is responsible for thousands of deaths each year in Pakistan. If some wild lunatic took over Pakistan, he/she/it would force the Japanese in the country to travel in this death trap.

They do make quality cars. It's just they go the extra mile to make these worse for countries like Pakistan because governments there don't enforce laws.
