By Pakistan’s electric vehicle market continues to evolve, and the latest addition to the entry-level EV segment is the newly launched JMEV EV3, showcased by Capital Smart Motors (CSM) at the Pakistan Auto Show (PAPS) 2025 in Karachi. After months of speculation, the company finally lifted the cover on this sub-compact 5-door electric hatchback, designed to be a budget-friendly and practical EV choice for daily city commuting.
Affordable Urban EV Mobility for Pakistan
The JMEV EV3 Pakistan launch represents a strategic move targeting first-time EV adopters, students, small families, ride-hailing drivers, and budget-conscious urban users. With increasing fuel costs and a rising shift toward sustainable transportation, the EV3 aims to provide low-maintenance, efficient, and eco-friendly mobility in crowded metropolitan areas.
Battery, Range & Performance
Equipped with a 30 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery, the EV3 delivers an estimated 271 km WLTP range, making it suitable for routine city travel. It is powered by an electric motor generating 67 hp and 125 Nm torque, designed for economy-driven performance rather than high-speed output.
Charging Support
The model supports both:
- AC home/office charging
- DC fast charging for quicker turnaround
This dual-charging capability increases convenience as Pakistan expands its EV charging infrastructure.
Design, Features & Tech
The JMEV EV3 measures 3720 × 1640 × 1535 mm, offering a compact footprint ideal for congested streets and tight parking. Key features include:
- 5-door, 4-seater hatchback layout
- 15-inch alloy wheels
- 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen
- High-strength cage body & reinforced beams
- Two-speaker audio system
Though minimalistic, the EV focuses on safety, practicality, efficiency, and affordability — core expectations in the entry-level EV market of Pakistan.
Availability & Pricing Outlook
The EV3 has been unveiled at PAPS 2025, while official pricing and booking details will be shared soon. However, analysts expect it to be positioned as one of the most affordable electric cars in Pakistan, competing with existing compact EV imports.
Bottom Line
With its launch, the JMEV EV3 strengthens Pakistan’s transition toward cleaner and more affordable electric transportation, giving local buyers a realistic pathway into EV ownership.
