Compare electric vs petrol cars Pakistan: costs, savings, subsidies & future value. See why 96% of EV owners won’t go back to fuel. Updated for 2026.

The question is no longer theoretical. With petrol hovering above Rs 258 per litre and electricity rates relatively stable, Pakistani drivers face a genuine crossroads: stick with the familiar internal combustion engine or make the leap to electric.

Recent data reveals a striking trend: 96% of electric vehicle owners globally say they will never return to petrol cars . The reasons? Dramatically lower running costs, smoother driving experience, and minimal maintenance. In Pakistan, where fuel prices consume a growing portion of household income, the economics deserve serious examination.
