Pakistan’s Cheapest Electric Car Discount Extended
Alektra, the company behind Pakistan’s most affordable electric vehicle lineup, has officially extended its limited-time discount on the Metro 4-Door EV after witnessing an unexpectedly strong wave of customer interest. The revised offer will now remain valid until December 15, giving more buyers the chance to secure the discounted price.
The extension marks yet another milestone for Alektra, whose Metro series has quickly gained traction in Pakistan’s growing entry-level EV market. Rising fuel prices, lower maintenance costs, and government-backed EV incentives have pushed many first-time buyers toward compact electric mobility — and the Metro lineup appears to be benefiting the most from this shift.
Alektra Extends Rs. 50,000 Discount Due to High Demand
In an official announcement on Thursday, Alektra confirmed that the Rs. 50,000 discount on the Metro 4-Door variant will stay in effect until mid-December. According to the company, the overwhelming response from buyers in the first phase encouraged the brand to extend the offer rather than close bookings abruptly.
The discount applies exclusively to the 4-Door model, which has become increasingly popular among small families, ride-hailing drivers, and commuters wanting extra cabin space without stretching their budget.
Alektra also clarified that the Metro 2-Door EV will continue to retail at its regular price, as the discount campaign has been designed solely to push the adoption of the larger variant.
Metro EV Lineup: A Budget-Friendly Entry Into Pakistan’s EV Market
Launched earlier this year, the Metro series positioned itself as Pakistan’s cheapest electric car option, targeting users who want an economical shift from petrol to electric without jumping into premium car price brackets.
Alektra introduced both 2-Door and 4-Door models, offering multiple battery configurations to fit different driving needs. This modular approach has made the Metro lineup appealing to:
- Daily city commuters
- Students
- Small business owners
- Careem/Uber drivers
- Environment-conscious buyers
Both variants of the Metro EV share similar powertrains and battery capacities, but the 4-Door model offers increased practicality — a major reason behind the surge in recent bookings.
Metro 2-Door: Battery Options & Regular Pricing
The Metro 2-Door comes in three battery variants, each offering different ranges suitable for short to medium-distance city driving:
🔋 7.2 kWh Battery
- Estimated range: 80–100 km
- Price: Rs. 1,095,000
🔋 10.8 kWh Battery
- Estimated range: 130–140 km
- Price: Rs. 1,145,000
🔋 12.96 kWh Battery
- Estimated range: 170–180 km
- Price: Rs. 1,195,000
These prices remain unchanged under the new discount policy. The 2-Door model is popular among solo drivers and urban users who need a compact, efficient electric car at the lowest possible cost.
Metro 4-Door: New Discounted Pricing (Valid Until December 15)
The Metro 4-Door, which carries the same battery options as the 2-Door model, has received a flat Rs. 50,000 reduction across all variants.
🟢 Updated Discounted Prices
- 7.2 kWh: Rs. 1,245,000
(Original: Rs. 1,295,000) - 10.8 kWh: Rs. 1,295,000
(Original: Rs. 1,345,000) - 12.96 kWh: Rs. 1,345,000
(Original: Rs. 1,395,000)
With these updated rates, the Metro 4-Door now sits well below most competing hatchbacks, even beating the prices of many used petrol cars on the market.
Why the Metro 4-Door Is Becoming a Popular Choice
Several factors are driving the strong demand for the 4-Door model:
1. Family Friendly Design
The additional doors and expanded cabin make it suitable for small families — something lacking in most ultra-compact EVs.
2. Ride-Hailing Compatibility
Drivers for Uber, Careem, and local platforms see the 4-Door model as a cost-efficient alternative to petrol vehicles, especially with fuel prices at record highs.
3. Lower Running Costs
Electric cars significantly reduce monthly fuel expenses, leading to savings that quickly outweigh the initial purchase cost.
4. Government Push Toward EVs
With Pakistan’s growing interest in EV adoption, budget models like the Metro are attracting consumers unsure about spending over Rs. 3 million on larger EVs.
Alektra Confirms 90-Day Delivery Window
In its announcement, Alektra reiterated that all EV variants — including the discounted 4-Door — fall under a standard 90-day delivery schedule. This timeframe applies to new bookings across Pakistan.
Although demand has surged in the last month, the company claims to have adequate production capacity to maintain delivery timelines, avoiding delays that often affect local automotive models.
What This Means for Pakistan’s EV Market
The Metro EV series has the potential to shape the future of affordable electric mobility in Pakistan. With hybrids and high-end EVs priced far beyond the reach of most households, the Metro provides a much-needed middle ground.
Industry experts believe:
- The discount will accelerate EV adoption in the budget segment
- Competing companies may introduce similar entry-level EVs
- Charging infrastructure growth will follow increasing demand
- Petrol dependence could gradually decline in urban centers
If Alektra continues offering consumer-friendly pricing and consistent delivery timelines, the Metro could become the go-to electric car for first-time EV buyers in Pakistan.
