China’s new-energy vehicle (NEV) sector has hit a remarkable milestone. In October, more than half of all new cars sold in China were electric or hybrid. From January to October, Chinese automakers produced 27.69 million vehicles and sold 27.68 million, showing over 10% growth from last year.
NEV output climbed to 13.02 million units, up 33.1%, while sales reached 12.94 million, marking a 32.7% rise. Exports also surged to 2.014 million NEVs, nearly 90% higher than last year. These record-breaking numbers are fueling a global shift — and Pakistan is starting to feel its impact.
Experts say that as Pakistan-China business relations deepen under projects like CPEC (China-Pakistan Economic Corridor), Pakistan’s car market could see a strong inflow of Chinese-made EVs. This partnership may lower prices, improve access to advanced electric technology, and boost local assembly opportunities.
Industry analysts point to several reasons behind China’s success — tax incentives, trade-in programs, and consumers rushing to buy before the expected NEV tax increase in 2026. Major online promotions like Double 11 also pushed sales higher.

China’s NEV range now spans everything from affordable small cars to luxury EVs, competing with fuel-based and foreign brands alike. The country’s growing production and export power could help Pakistan replace costly fuel imports with electric options, reducing expenses for both drivers and the government.
China’s record-breaking NEV growth is more than just good news for Beijing — it’s a signal for Pakistan’s car market to evolve. With closer business ties and new trade routes, Chinese EV makers could soon dominate showrooms in Pakistan. Affordable electric cars might become a common sight on Pakistani roads, reshaping the country’s transport and energy future.
