JMEV EV3 Unveiled in Karachi: Pakistan’s Next Affordable Electric Hatchback?

Capital Smart Motors (CSM) launched the JMEV EV3 electric hatchback at the Pakistan Auto Parts Show (PAPS) in Karachi on November 16, 2025. This affordable electric car targets city commuters tired of rising fuel costs. CSM, maker of the JMEV Elight, Pakistan’s cheapest electric sedan, now brings a compact EV hatchback built for Karachi traffic and Lahore roads.

Compact Design for Pakistan Cities

The JMEV EV3 measures just 3.9 meters long. It slips through narrow streets in Islamabad’s F-sectors or Rawalpindi’s Raja Bazaar. Park near the Dolmen Mall or Emporium without stress. Ground clearance handles speed bumps on Multan Road.

Five doors mean easy access. The hatch opens wide for school bags, weekly rations, or Friday market hauls. This city electric car fits Pakistani families who need practicality without bulk.

Battery, Range, and Real-World Use

Global specs show a 27 kWh battery and 49 hp front motor. Top speed reaches 100 km/h – ideal for urban limits. Expect 200 to 250 km range per charge in mixed conditions.

Pakistan’s heat cuts range. A full charge in 40°C Karachi summer might drop to 180 km with AC on. CSM must share local EV range tests soon. Commuters from DHA to Clifton need honest numbers.

Home Charging Costs Less

Use a 220V plug overnight, 8 to 10 hours for full power. A 7 kW charger cuts the time to 4 hours. Most electric vehicle owners charge at home. One fill costs Rs. 400–600 on off-peak rates, versus Rs. 2,500 for petrol.

Public EV charging stations in Pakistan grow slowly. CSM plans more in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad. Until then, plan around home power.

Features Inside the EV3

The cabin seats five. Front space feels open. Rear works for kids or short adult trips. A 10-inch screen runs Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Manual AC keeps costs down.

Safety includes dual airbags, ABS, and rear sensors. No lane assist or radar cruise this budget electric hatchback skips extras to stay cheap.

JMEV EV3 Price in Pakistan: The Decider

CSM holds back EV3 price in Pakistan. The Elight sells for nearly Rs. 3.9 million. Rumors place the JMEV EV3 between Rs. 2.8 and Rs. 3.5 million.

Below Rs. 3 million, it beats the new Suzuki Swift or Toyota Yaris. Above Rs. 4 million, used cars win. Electric car tax benefits end June 2026. CSM must price fast.

Who Buys This Electric Hatchback?

• Ride-hailing drivers in Uber and Careem fleets.

• Office workers from Gulberg to Bahria Town.

• Second-car families for school runs.

• Smog fighters in Punjab winters.
