Dealers in Pakistan said April sales reached about 40,000 electric two-wheelers, mostly scooters, while delivery times stretched to 30 days.
Buyers are paying Rs10,000 to Rs15,000 in premiums for scarce models including T5-L, Velax and M3-H, amid limited CKD kit supplies from China.

Will government subsidies and local production truly make electric scooters affordable for middle- and low-income Pakistanis, or will benefits remain limited to early adopters?
