I can accept the generation gap like in defence sector where you can skip gen 1, 2, 3 fighters and start making/procuring gen 4 fighter.
However, commercially this can be a suicide. You can't convince people who litter the streets, to spend extra money, so that they can have a safer/cleaner vehicle. Plus, electricity is not cheap.

In UK the min wage is around 1331£. The electric units price is 0.0125% of it (14.5 p). So how come one can operate it in Pakistan?

Petrol is 5 times more expensive than electricity in Pakistan.

This is an SUV, it will bought by rich and upper middleclass.

I hope with more dams and CPEC power plants it goes further down. However, the comparison should be in /mile or km.. For instance, if one uses electric car so it is 100 Rs/km, if one uses petrol then it is 1000 Rs/km.

Also, if the demand increases then electricity price may go up too., like CNG.

Watch both of these videos. The biggest issue with electric cars right now is the lack of charging stations and blackouts. Economically speaking EVs are way cheaper to operate than petrol vehicles here, it's not even a contest.

Sir this car is not for the min wage earner... However, car industry in Pakistan is really skewed, it targets just the upper 5%.


Countries like China have massive production of low priced cars targetting middle class and lower. In fact I believe the most popular electric car in China is a $5-10k two seater. We need cars in that in segment.

I suggest just make that rickshaw into a 2 seater car with safety feature.. leave the MG import.

You expect upper middleclass like myself to use rickshaw for daily travel?

Different products for different types of customers.

I mean a 2 seater car for students, elderly, women, etc.. good for parking too.. so it may eliminate 1000s of middle class 800cc cars. Also reduces heat and pollutants emissions. @Syed1.

Edit.. Even a single seater for daily commute like to office, market etc.

You are upper middle class?? How does one know what class they are. Genuine question

As far as this MG car segment is concerned, Javed afridi is going forward with too much speed... He is acting like Elon musk... God Speed. We need competition and players with integrity.

 

[Oracle]

Civic is more than 4 milion

This is vehicle is not for the mainstream Suzuki lovers. It will be for the rich and elite.

I like to think that I am lower middle class but my friends say that even middleclass can't own a 1 kanal home in a decent housing society.

Rich and elite will buy Tesla model S or Audi E-Tron not this.
