The CM Punjab E-Taxi Scheme 2025, launched by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, is a major step toward green and affordable transport in the province. With 1,100 electric taxis offered on easy, interest-free installments, the scheme is helping unemployed youth, women, and fleet owners shift to modern electric vehicles (EVs).
If you are planning to apply, knowing the car models, battery specs, mileage, and charging details is very important. Choosing the right EV will not only save fuel costs but also match your daily driving needs.
Why Specs and Range Matter
When applying for an electric taxi, you should consider:
- Mileage per charge – How far the car can go before recharging.
- Battery size – Bigger batteries usually mean longer range.
- Motor power – Stronger motors give better speed and performance.
- Charging type – Fast charging saves time, especially for ride-hailing drivers.
Let’s look at the officially approved models under the scheme.
