The letter contains information on how the general public will be able to save money through the use of EVs. The motorcyclists will be able to save around Rs. 4,000 each month and people owning a car will be able to save around Rs. 25,000-30,000.
On top of all this, the Electric vehicles don’t need any fuel and have zero cost maintenance wise. This kind of saving will be seen in the use of buses or coaches with an estimated saving of Rs. 300,000-500,000 every month.
EVs will be beneficial for the environment as they produce zero emissions and will help control air pollution and global warming, a growing concern for Pakistan.
