Pakistan EV Fest 2026 in Multan: Explore Electric Vehicles and Solar Tech

Pakistan is picking up speed on electric vehicles, and the Pakistan EV Fest 2026 in Multan shows exactly why. Set for January 20 and 21 at DHA Multan's Arena, this two-day event pulls together electric cars, bikes, rickshaws, charging tech, batteries, and solar systems made for our roads and weather. It's more than a show it's a hands-on look at how EVs are becoming a smart, cost-saving choice for families, businesses, and drivers across the country.

This free-entry festival opens doors to everyone: curious families, startup founders, investors, students, and everyday riders. Organized by Eventy.pk and Social Bakery, with support from Traffic Police Multan and Drive.pk for media, it's built to deliver real value. No hype, just practical info on costs, range, and daily use.

Why Multan and Why Right Now?

Multan might not be the first city you think of for EVs, but that's changing fast. The local push for clean energy makes it a perfect spot. EVs aren't limited to big cities like Lahore or Karachi anymore, they're spreading to places like Multan to prove they work anywhere.

The timing fits Pakistan's growing EV scene. Our national policy has cut import duties and boosted incentives for years. Fuel prices keep rising, making electric options more appealing. This event lands when EVs shift from novel ideas to everyday reality, with government targets aiming for 30% electric sales by 2030.

Electric Vehicles Tailored for Pakistan

Forget luxury imports. The EVs here are designed for our conditions: hot dust, bumpy roads, and power glitches. Compact sedans for city runs, rugged SUVs for highways, and commercial vans for deliveries. Manufacturers showcase models you can buy now, with demos letting you sit in, test, and quiz experts on range (often 200-300 km per charge) and upkeep.

Two-wheelers and rickshaws steal the spotlight as game-changers. Most families rely on bikes or scooters, and electric versions cut fuel costs sharply. A petrol bike might run you 5,000 rupees monthly on gas, but electric drops it to under 1,000 on electricity. Rickshaw drivers report savings from 30,000 to 5,000 rupees a month—quieter rides, less pollution, and no daily pump stops. Dozens of models will be on display, with real users sharing stories.

Solving the Charging Challenge

Charging worries top the list, but solutions are rolling out. Companies at the fest unveil networks for highways, neighborhoods, and solar-powered spots that skip the grid. Fast chargers hit 80% in 30 minutes; home units work overnight. Battery swaps let you trade empties for full ones in minutes.

Solar ties in perfectly with Pakistan's sunny skies. Exhibits show rooftop panels charging vehicles for near-zero cost, dodging load shedding. Businesses love it for fleets think delivery vans running on free solar power. It's independence from oil and unreliable electricity.

Batteries and Tech at the Core

Batteries drive it all, and the fest highlights durable lithium-ion types lasting 8-10 years or 150,000 km. Newer ones charge quicker and hold up better in heat. Local firms are making components, cutting costs, and creating jobs. Recycling plans turn old batteries into home storage, reducing waste.

Financing, Startups, and Government Backing

Upfront costs sting, but banks offer low-interest loans tailored for EVs, factoring in fuel savings. A 250,000-rupee electric bike versus 150,000 for petrol? You break even in two years on savings alone. Government tax breaks and subsidies help too.

Startups shine with innovations like battery-swapping apps, route planners, and petrol-to-EV conversions. They're solving local problems with small teams and big ideas, seeking partners here.

Government reps explain policies: lower duties, provincial perks, and infrastructure pushes. It's all aimed at cleaner air, job growth, and less oil imports that drain billions yearly.

The Bigger Impact on Pakistan

This fest stands out by focusing solely on electric and sustainable transport depth over breadth. It's about building a cleaner system: less pollution in cities, economic savings, and energy independence via solar.

Pakistan's oil imports hurt our wallet and environment. EVs keep money local, especially with homegrown solar. The shift is underway, and this event connects people to speed it up.
