Pakistan’s Most Affordable EV Launched for Just Rs.10 Lacs
Alektra has officially launched Pakistan’s most Affordable EV priced at only Rs. 10.45 lacs, making it the cheapest brand-new EV currently available in the country. The new tiny EV, technically classified as a quadricycle, has quickly become the talk of the town due to its extremely low price, modern features, and 2-year warranty on both motor and battery.
This launch finally brings EV ownership within reach of thousands of middle-class motorists who have long been waiting for a practical, maintenance-free, and budget-friendly electric option. Despite its small size, the vehicle offers features normally expected from a regular city car, including AC/heater, Bluetooth player, reverse camera, four seats, alloy rims, and a fully covered cabin.
Alektra does not manufacture the EV itself. Instead, the company imports a Chinese-made quadricycle, white-labels it with its own branding, and provides warranty, sales support, and after-sales service within Pakistan. Interestingly, international reviewers like Supercar Blondie and WhistlinDiesel have also featured similar-sized EVs on their channels, adding credibility and global recognition to this category.
Battery Options & Driving Range
Alektra offers three battery sizes, each designed for different travel needs and budgets:
| Battery Size | Estimated Range |
|---|---|
| 7.2 kWh | 80–100 km |
| 10.8 kWh | 130–150 km |
| 12.96 kWh | 160–180 km |
Charging the vehicle takes 5–7 hours using a standard 220V home socket, meaning no charging station is required.

Alektra EV vs Suzuki Mehran – What’s the Better Choice?
In this price range, many buyers compare this EV with a used 2013–14 Suzuki Mehran, which is available around Rs.10–11 lacs. However, the comparison depends on usage:
Why Choose the Alektra EV?
- Brand-new vehicle
- Zero maintenance
- Extremely low running cost
- 2-year warranty
- Comfortable alternative to a motorcycle
- Ideal for daily short trips within the city
Why Choose a Mehran?
- Larger size & more power
- Highway capable
- Strong resale
But since Mehran in this budget is 8–10 years old, buyers should expect maintenance issues, fuel costs, and no warranty. For urban driving, the EV offers far better value.
