Alektra has taken a major step into Pakistan’s electric vehicle market by officially launching its Metro EV lineup, a range designed for budget-conscious urban drivers looking for a practical and economical daily-use vehicle. The launch includes both 2-door and 4-door versions, giving families and individuals the option to choose according to their needs.
Multiple Battery Options for All Driving Needs
Alektra’s Metro EV stands out because it offers three different battery capacities, something not commonly seen in Pakistan’s entry-level EV segment.
Battery Variants (Available in Both 2-Door & 4-Door Models):
| Battery | Estimated Range | Regular Price | Discounted Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7.2 kWh | 80–100 km | Rs. 1,095,000 (2-door) / 1,295,000 (4-door) | Rs. 1,045,000 (2-door) / 1,245,000 (4-door) |
| 10.8 kWh | 130–140 km | Rs. 1,145,000 (2-door) / 1,345,000 (4-door) | Rs. 1,095,000 (2-door) / 1,295,000 (4-door) |
| 12.96 kWh | 170–180 km | Rs. 1,195,000 (2-door) / 1,395,000 (4-door) | Rs. 1,145,000 (2-door) / 1,345,000 (4-door) |
Alektra has announced a flat Rs. 50,000 discount on all variants for bookings made before November 30, 2025.
To put things into perspective, a typical daily commute in Lahore is between 20 to 35 km, which means even the smallest 7.2 kWh option can easily last 2–4 days on a single charge for most users.
Booking, Delivery, and Payment Details
The booking process for Metro EV is simple:
-
20% upfront payment required at the time of booking
-
Estimated delivery window: 90 days
-
Available at Alektra’s showroom in G-22, Park and Ride Plaza, Liberty Roundabout, Gulberg III, Lahore
For a vehicle priced around Rs. 1.1 to 1.3 million, the advance payment comes to roughly Rs. 220,000 to Rs. 260,000.
Features Designed for Pakistani Urban Life
Alektra has positioned the Metro EV as a compact yet practical solution for crowded city roads. Despite being a small EV, it includes features usually not found in this price range:
-
AC and heater (important for Pakistan’s weather extremes)
-
Sunroof-style ventilation
-
Central multimedia system
-
Modern lighting setup
-
Push-start and key-start options
-
Fully electric powertrain with low running cost
For context, running an electric car typically costs 70 to 80% less per kilometer than a petrol car, which could save frequent commuters thousands of rupees every month.
What This Launch Means for Pakistan EV Market
Pakistan’s EV adoption rate is still low less than 1% of total vehicles, according to industry estimates. But affordable EVs like the Metro could help accelerate the transition. Alektra’s pricing strategy places the Metro EV among the cheapest four-wheel electric options in the country, making it appealing for students, small families, delivery riders, and office-going professionals.
With rising petrol prices, many citizens are actively searching for economical alternatives, and Alektra is clearly trying to tap into this growing demand.
Summary
Alektra has launched its budget friendly Metro electric vehicles in Pakistan, offering 2-door and 4-door models with multiple battery options and discounted prices. Bookings are open with a 20% advance and a 90-day delivery timeline, making it an affordable EV choice for urban drivers.
