Electric Vehicle Policy: 30% Cars Will Be Converted To Electricity By 2030 In Pakistan

[Smarana Mitra]

Unlike other countries which have completely indigenous power generation in large quantities and Petroleum is imported, Pakistan imports Petroleum as well as has scarcity of electricity. How exactly is it reasonable for Pakistan to shift from one scarce resource - petroleum - to another scarce resource - electricity?

Our electricity production has risen to 33,0000 MW while peak demand is around 26,000 MW

The Tesla Gigafactory 1 is a lithium-ion battery and electric vehicle subassembly factory near Reno, Nevada. The facility is owned and operated by Tesla, Inc. to supply the battery packs for its electric vehicles and stationary storage systems, next time instead of making stuff up google it.

The battery technology that tesla uses is owned by panasonic
The part of gigafactory which makes batteries leased to panasonic

You're overly optimistic. This is Pakistan not Sweden. Government and beaurocracy is slow, the private sector is not fluid and doesn't drive change. Also governments don't plan for longer than an election cycle, A will start something, B will abandon it. Why would anyone invest big and think long term in such an environment? It's high risk. That's why all our money is in the property market.

Sweden or any developed country has a very high density of car i.e. car per capita since almost every family owns at least one car and most of which are fuel based and hence in EU, we won't be able to buy a new non-electric after 2025 as most of the automakers will completely switch to EV production lines only.. some of them may even switch earlier. Also govts are imposing and increasing the carbon tax i.e. CO2 emission of the car so people are being pushed to switch EV or public transport. I think by 2030.. we may not even find non-EV cars on the road because it would be too expensive to run and maintain due to lack of the availability of parts and services for repairs to the engine. Only buses and truck might still be with ICEs.

But Pakistan has pretty low car per capita so if the govt make proper policies and gives incentives to the people to buy EV while increase the tax on non-EVs, it will be easier to to achieve 50% or more goal.

Electric vehicles are still unrealistic. They require too much time to charge and charge retainers are still old tech batteries.

This is how cellphones looked in 2009

And this is how they look in 2019

I'm sure you can appreciate the vast technological improvement that took place in a mere decade which is minuscule timeframe when you compare it to the entire history of mankind.


Likewise the EV technology you see today is definitely a LOT inferior to the technology you will see by 2030.

 

[Asad200]

Best storage is still lithium ion battery and comparing charging time vs gasoline/diesel refueling, EV can be in there in few numbers but total global conversion still seems unrealistic.

Cell phones is a different story. 1000 can be recharged at a time but recharging only 10 cars at a service point is a different story with current available tech.

In future with some new storage and charging tech, unrealistic of today can change to realistic. Nothing is permanent.

Car charging tech is changing. There is a supercharge feature in some cars, they can add 100+ miles in 30 mins.

https://pod-point.com/guides/driver/how-long-to-charge-an-electric-car

In 10 years time this might be down to 10 minutes. VW offer 100% charge in 45 minutes.

https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/electric/car-charging-times

This Australian company is offering 350km charge in 10 minutes - https://www.createdigital.org.au/tr...vehicle-charging-technology-highway-near-you/

The tech will get there, we just need to be ready for it.

WAtch this short youtube video explaining how French Energy company and Nissan have signed a deal for selling back spare charge to the national grid -

There are clever solutions everywhere. Think about your own daily commutes. I bet 90% of us drive less than 100km a day. even with a small capacity, i could do 99% of my journeys. Drive to work, drive home - charge overnight.

damn trip down memory lane, almost. Tech has moved very quickly in 10 years.

I hope with shift to electric cars Pakistan need to produce engine locally. Car sales have tanked in recent months because all of them are basically foreign companies importing parts. 50% increase in prices will do that.

100+ miles in 30 mins.

consider all cars are electric and consider the same queue as on any gas station, and then bring these 30 mins in for each car.

For travel with in city people will charge at home. For long distance travel there can be as many charging points as needed along highways/motorways.

Your electricity bill in Pakistan shoots up after 300 units.
I haven't seen usual home charging even in US. People prefer charging at stations. Charging EV at home is painfully slow.

Consider you can't put in petrol at home. You can charge your car. I was an electric non believer too.

How exactly do you intend to have megawatts of charging stations everywhere? From where will you get new wiring system for these?

Consider you can't put in petrol at home. You can charge your car. I was an electric non believer too.

The electricity power needed will be too much that entire wiring system will have to be changed. Also, majority o oil is used in diesel,kerosene (aircrafts) and petrochemicals. Only small amount is petrol. So, despite so much infrastructure expenditure, the end goal will be limited.
