An editorial in Dawn has questioned the government’s decision to offer equal tax incentives for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) alongside fully electric vehicles (EVs) in Pakistan. The piece argues that the policy fails to align with global environmental goals, as PHEVs—while more efficient than traditional petrol or diesel cars—still rely on fossil fuels and produce fewer emissions reductions compared to pure EVs. Critics suggest the uniform incentives may undermine efforts to accelerate the adoption of cleaner, zero-emission transportation. The editorial calls for a review of the policy to better support sustainable mobility.
