Pakistan: Islamabad and Rawalpindi accelerate the shift to electric mobility

Islamabad and Rawalpindi, Pakistan’s twin cities, are steering mobility towards electric power. The change mainly concerns urban transport and aims to cut consumption, pollution and reliance on traditional fuels.

The transition nevertheless requires a widespread charging network and steady coordination between local authorities and operators. The case reflects a common pattern in emerging markets: electrification starts with public services before reaching private cars.
