To BE(V) or not to BE(V)

Let’s be honest: battery electric vehicles (BEVs) or just pure electric vehicles (EVs) are hyped up everywhere, thanks to Tesla and the Chinese EV brands. People are talking about how they are the future, how they’ll save the environment, and how they’ll revolutionise car ownership. But here’s the burning question for us: Is Pakistan even ready for EVs, or are we chasing a dream that’s too big for us right now? Sure, BEVs and EVs sound fantastic on the internet. They don’t burn fossil fuels, they’re supposedly better for the environment with zero tailpipe emissions, and most EV-producing companies claim users will save money in the long run.
