Pakistan’s electric vehicle revolution is no longer a distant promise — it is happening right now, on the streets of Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and beyond. At the heart of this transformation is a powerful government initiative and one brand that has earned the trust of thousands of Pakistani commuters: Metro EV.
In this post, we explore how the PAVE scheme is reshaping urban mobility, how Metro EV fits into this national vision, and why customers across Pakistan are choosing Metro EV as their partner in the electric future.
Overview of the PAVE Scheme in Pakistan
The Pakistan Accelerated Vehicle Electrification (PAVE) Programme is a flagship initiative under the New Energy Vehicle Policy 2025–30, introduced by the Ministry of Industries & Production, Government of Pakistan. It is also widely known as the PM Electric Bike and Rickshaw Scheme.
The scheme was launched with a clear mission: to make eco-friendly electric transport affordable and accessible for ordinary Pakistanis — from students and daily wage workers to families and small business owners. With petrol prices reaching historic highs, the government recognised that a subsidy-backed EV programme was not just a green initiative, but an economic necessity.
The PAVE scheme is not just about financial relief — it is about building a new culture of clean, smart, and affordable transportation in Pakistan. By reducing dependence on imported fuel, the government projects savings of up to Rs. 290 billion annually on fuel imports while drastically cutting urban carbon emissions.
Metro EV’s Affiliation with the Government Initiative
Metro EV has officially collaborated with the Prime Minister’s E-Bike Scheme, making it one of the select few manufacturers whose vehicles are approved and listed under the PAVE programme. This is not a minor commercial deal — it is a formal endorsement of Metro EV’s quality, safety standards, and manufacturing credibility by the Government of Pakistan.
As an approved PAVE partner, Metro EV:
- Supplies government-verified electric scooters eligible for direct subsidies
- Participates in the national framework to promote locally manufactured, affordable EVs
- Ensures customers who are selected through the PAVE balloting process can access Metro models through authorised dealerships
This government affiliation answers one of the biggest questions Pakistani buyers ask before making any major purchase: “Can I trust this brand?” When the government endorses a manufacturer under a national scheme, the answer becomes unmistakably clear.

Popular Models: Metro M6 Empower Lithium & Thrill Pro Lithium
Among Metro EV’s growing lineup, two models have emerged as the stars of the PAVE scheme — widely searched, widely discussed, and widely loved.
Metro M6 Empower Lithium
The Metro M6 Empower is one of the most recognised electric scooters available under the PAVE programme. Built specifically for Pakistani urban roads, it strikes the perfect balance between power, range, and affordability.
The M6 Empower is a popular pick among students and office professionals making the switch to electric mobility. Its Nano Carbon Fiber battery is a genuine technological leap — offering faster charging, a longer lifecycle, and the safety assurance of non-flammability. The premium Swedish Berker paint finish and CAE-validated frame make it feel like a premium product at an accessible price point.
Metro Thrill Pro Lithium
The Metro Thrill Pro Lithium is designed for riders who want more than just a commuter scooter — they want character. Balancing style, comfort, and efficiency, the Thrill Pro Lithium is ideal for office-goers and city commuters who want a practical yet exhilarating riding experience.
Whether you are a first-time EV buyer or upgrading from a petrol motorcycle, both the M6 Empower Lithium and Thrill Pro Lithium offer compelling reasons to make the switch — especially when the PAVE subsidy brings the effective cost down significantly.

Why Customers Prefer Metro EV Under This Scheme
Government approval matters — but it is only the beginning of why Pakistani customers trust Metro EV. Here is what sets the brand apart:
1. Government-Verified Quality
Being listed under the PAVE scheme means Metro EV has met the stringent standards set by the Ministry of Industries & Production. Customers do not have to take the brand’s word for it — the government already has.
2. Transparent Pricing and Subsidy Access
Metro EV makes it easy for customers to understand exactly how much they save under the PAVE scheme. With subsidies reducing prices by tens of thousands of rupees, the investment in a Metro EV scooter becomes one of the smartest financial decisions a Pakistani commuter can make.
3. Low Running Costs
Electric scooters cost a fraction of what petrol bikes cost per kilometre. Metro EV owners consistently report dramatic reductions in monthly transport expenses — no fuel costs, minimal maintenance, and long-lasting lithium batteries built to go the distance.
4. Nationwide Dealership Network
Metro EV has one of the widest dealership and service networks in Pakistan, ensuring customers in cities and towns alike can access authorised sales and after-sales support. Find your nearest showroom using our Store Locator.
