Evee Bike & Pakistan’s Electric Taxi / EV Policy: What You Should Know

Electric vehicles are increasingly becoming a core part of Pakistan’s strategy to reduce pollution, oil import bills, and provide cleaner mobility. Two big names in this discussion are Evee (a local electric scooter / bike brand) and various government-schemes for EVs & e-taxis. This article brings together what Evee offers and how government policies are shaping EV adoption.

Who is Evee?

Evee (Fusion Engineering Private Limited) is a Pakistani company designing and manufacturing electric scooters and bikes. (Evee Electric)

• They offer several models: Evee Gen-Z, Nisa, C1, S1, etc. Each model has its own speed, range, battery type (often graphene technology), and design suited for city commuting. (Evee Electric)
  
• For example, the Gen-Z has a top speed of about 50 km/h with a range up to ~80 km, using 60V 32Ah graphene batteries. (Evee Electric)
  
• Evee also offers 3-wheeled electric scooters (Nisa 3W) designed for stability and heavier loads. (Evee Electric)
  
• Price points vary depending on model, battery, performance, etc. Evee also markets installment plans (0% markup in some cases) to make adoption easier. (Gari.PK)
  

Evee’s mission, product quality standards, and warranty offerings position it as one of the leading local brands in Pakistan’s EV ecosystem. (Evee Electric)

Government EV & E-Taxi / Bike Policies

The Pakistani government (federal and provincial) has been rolling out various policies, incentives, and programs to promote electric vehicles (bikes, rickshaws, taxis). Key features:

1. Rs100 Billion Subsidy Scheme for E-Bikes & Rickshaws
   
   • The Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) approved a subsidy program to distribute ~116,000 electric bikes and ~3,170 electric rickshaws/loaders over the next few years. (Dawn)
     
   • Loans for these are being structured to be interest-free for the borrower (government to cover markup) in many cases. (Dawn)
     
   • For eligibility and funding, there are plans to recover about Rs122 billion via a new levy on conventional (non-EV) vehicles. (Pakistan Today)
     
2. Sindh Province EV Taxis / Scooters & Unified Ride-Hailing
   
   • The Sindh government is allocating budget in fiscal 2025-26 specifically for EV taxis, electric scooters, and supporting infrastructure. (Dawn)
     
   • Karachi is set to get a unified ride-hailing system, which includes the introduction of EV taxis. The goal is to improve service quality, fare transparency, inspections, etc. (The Express Tribune)
     
3. Punjab E-Taxi and EV Programmes
   
   • Punjab government has launched its “e-taxi scheme”, designed to distribute electric taxis among drivers via interest-free instalments, with provisions for private and corporate sectors, reserved quotas (e.g. women) etc. (The Express Tribune)
     
   • The Punjab Electric Vehicles Programme gives subsidies for bikes, rickshaws, etc., helps with registration, and is expanding charging infrastructure. (CM Punjab schemes updates)
     
4. New Energy Vehicle Policy 2025-30 / PM Program for Electric Bikes & Rickshaws
   
   • This federal policy (via PAVE) is meant to accelerate vehicle electrification in Pakistan. It includes subsidy schemes, targets for numbers of electric bikes & rickshaws, priority groups (students, delivery riders, women, etc.). (8171 Official)
     
   • Objectives include reducing barriers such as high upfront cost, setting up support frameworks like charging stations etc. (Pakistan Today Profit)
     

How Evee Fits into These Policies

Evee stands to benefit quite a lot from the government’s push on EVs. Here’s how:

• Demand Stimulation: With subsidies in place, EVEE models could become more affordable relative to conventional bikes. For example, if a bike gets partial subsidy or interest-free financing, the effective cost for consumers comes down significantly.
  
• Financing & Installments: Evee’s existing installment offers (especially with 0% markup/ flexible plans) align well with what government programmes are trying to promote. This can help bridge affordability gaps. (Gari.PK)
  
• Brand vs Policy Compatibility: Evee’s local manufacturing / assembly, its warranty etc., may align with government preference for supporting local industry and reducing import dependency.
  
• Potential for E-Taxi / Fleet Use: Electric taxis and ride-hailing services could adopt Evee’s vehicles (especially lighter ones) for short distance urban use — possibly as last-mile or intra-city vehicles.
  

Challenges & Considerations

While the outlook is promising, there are still challenges:

• Infrastructure: Charging station availability is still limited in many regions. For EVs and e-taxis to be practical, reliable charging is essential.
  
• Upfront Cost vs Running Cost: Even with subsidies and financing, many potential buyers are discouraged by high upfront costs. Also battery replacement or performance degradation over time can be a concern.
  
• Regulatory & Policy Clarity: For successful adoption, stable policies, clear eligibility rules, and enforcement are needed (e.g. safety standards, inspections).
  
• After-sales service / parts supply: For brands like Evee, ensuring spare parts, battery service, and reliable maintenance networks matters a lot for customer trust.
  

What This Means for the Average Consumer

If you are someone considering Evee or any EV / e-taxi option, here are takeaways:

• Check if you are eligible for subsidy or interest-free financing under federal or provincial schemes.
  
• Factor total cost of ownership: battery life, charging costs, maintenance, etc.
  
• Ask about after-sales service and warranty; brands with local production or service centers tend to have advantages.
  
• If you are a taxi driver or thinking of ride-hailing, look into government e-taxi / EV taxi schemes: they may offer loans, registration benefits, or quotas.
  
• Monitor policy announcements: because changes in tax, import duties, and subsidies can affect price competitiveness.

Conclusion

Pakistan is accelerating toward electric mobility. Policies from federal and provincial governments are pushing for more e-bikes, e-rickshaws, and e-taxis, aiming to cut emissions and reduce dependence on fuel imports. Evee is among the local brands well positioned to ride this wave — its product offerings, local presence, and financing options match the direction of government initiatives.

If things go as planned — better infrastructure, clear policies, and supportive financing — EVs (including bikes, scooters, e-taxis) could become a mainstream option for many Pakistanis sooner than expected.
