There have been speculations regarding a possible new addition to Pakistan's electric vehicle lineup after a shipment of small electric vehicles was spotted at the port of Karachi.
The cars are the Wuling Binguo EV, a subcompact all-electric hatchback manufactured by Wuling Motors, a subsidiary of the SAIC-GM-Wuling (SGMW) joint venture.
Moreover, the launch of the Binguo EV, which might be a big step towards reasonably priced electric mobility in Pakistan, seems to be the brainchild of the same group that brought MG to the country.
This development is being closely monitored due to the growing consumer interest in electric vehicles (EVs) and government initiatives.
Wuling Binguo EV specifications (expected)
The Wuling Binguo EV is a compact and environmentally friendly electric hatchback. It is anticipated to have a driving range of between 200 and 330 kilometres on a single charge, which makes it appropriate for commuting in cities.
Along with a simple yet cosy interior design, the Binguo EV is anticipated to have LED headlights, a touchscreen infotainment system, regenerative braking, and a digital instrument cluster.
With almost 6% of China's battery electric vehicle market share, the Wuling Binguo EV has seen tremendous growth in popularity there. Its official launch price in Indonesia is around PKR4.7 million.
However, because of import taxes, regulatory expenses, and other levies, the actual market retail price in Pakistan is anticipated to be higher.
The model may make its debut in the upcoming months, according to some reports, though the launch date has not been officially confirmed.
Additionally, the Wuling Binguo EV's arrival could greatly increase Pakistan's adoption of electric vehicles by giving consumers a new option to traditional gasoline-powered automobiles.
The Binguo EV might revolutionise the market for future electric cars in Pakistan if Wuling offers robust warranty coverage, after-sales support, and charging options.
