Last year, the government unveiled its first national EV strategy and additional incentives to encourage EV use, according to Hammad Azhar. According to him, the government has decreased customs charges and sales tax on EVS, which will assist speed up the shift to cleaner and more efficient mobility.
The function of EV charging infrastructure, according to the minister, is vital. As a result, a robust EV industry required a comprehensive, accessible public charging infrastructure network.
According to Hammad Azhar, a legal framework is needed to simplify the construction of electric vehicle charging stations across the country.
He further stated that it would not only help manage pollution in cities and absorb the country’s excess electrical capacity, but would also save billions of dollars in oil import bills.
