A groundbreaking electric vehicle (EV) model has been unveiled in Pakistan, capable of traveling the entire stretch from Karachi to Islamabad — over 1,400 kilometers — on a single charge. The long-range EV, introduced by a Chinese-Pakistani automotive partnership, is being hailed as a technological breakthrough and a major step toward energy-efficient transportation in the country.
The model, tentatively named “Routemaster E+”, features a next-generation solid-state battery, offering superior energy density, faster charging times, and longer life cycles compared to traditional lithium-ion cells. The vehicle can reportedly achieve up to 1,500 km of range under ideal driving conditions.
What sets this EV apart is not just its impressive range but its compatibility with Pakistan’s road conditions and charging infrastructure. Engineers have designed the car to operate efficiently on highways and within urban environments, with smart navigation and battery optimization systems ensuring performance even during power fluctuations and rough terrain.
The vehicle supports ultra-fast charging, capable of replenishing 80% battery in under 30 minutes using a DC fast charger. Additionally, the manufacturers are working with provincial governments to roll out a nationwide charging corridor, starting from the M-2 and M-9 motorways.
This EV is expected to launch in early 2026, priced competitively for high-end consumers, with future models targeting the mid-range segment. Environmentalists and clean energy advocates have praised the vehicle for pushing Pakistan closer to its green transport goals, especially in light of rising fuel costs and urban pollution.
Industry insiders suggest this launch could set a new benchmark for what is possible in EV innovation within South Asia.
