85 lac ? No thanks
Won’t sell at that price . These people don’t do any market surveys??
who cares about our devalued currency bro? cars are imported in $$$ not rupees.
top speed 140km/h …seriously what joke is this from china ?
Fast becoming dumping ground of failed EVs…. at exorbitant cost !
Millions of unsold EVs are parked in open grounds, in China. Even frequent price reductions failed to elevate the market
25 to 30 lac ki milti hai toh theek hai. Otherwise people can buy city or alsvin over this depreciating trash.
Why EV in Pakistan, where electricity is the costliest in the world? Let us keep importing ICE used cars, which are now continuously going cheaper due to the EV craze around the world. We will soon have our own oil from the off shore and dirt cheap, making the EV drive, a big failure.
I guess the best strategy to successfully launch EV in Pakistan would be to get small cars costing $6000 – $8000 in China and bring them to Pakistan with zero custom duty or maximum 5% duty to cater to masses and bring a change in the country. But it is close to impossible as the three gundas not only controlling the car maker the assemblies and govt. Will never let you.
the EV motor vehicle will not be successful as we do not have stable electricity. loadsedfing is very common issue and even if anyone has a solar system installed at home which is connected to national grid, the electricity current has too much fluctuation, hence, unstable, which is harmful for the EV vehicles. I hope it is understood by what I mean.
No bro solar is good even for charging if you want I can help you out with that
