The Government of Pakistan has officially opened online registrations for the Pakistan Accelerated Vehicle Electrification (PAVE) Scheme 2025, a flagship program under the National Electric Vehicle (NEV) Policy 2025–2030. This initiative marks a significant step toward reducing fuel imports, cutting urban pollution, and making eco-friendly transport affordable for the public.
What is the PAVE EV Scheme 2025?
The PAVE EV program is designed to help Pakistan transition from traditional fuel-based vehicles to electric mobility. In its first phase, the government is offering subsidies and installment plans for electric motorcycles, rickshaws, and loaders — with a strong focus on affordability for low- and middle-income families.
Registrations are being managed entirely through the official portal pave.gov.pk, making the process simple, transparent, and accessible across the country.
