Dr. Ijaz Ahmad (Environmentalist): The government has taken a wise step to promote use of Electric vehicles in the country to counter the emerging challenges of climate change. It will also lower our dependence on petroleum based vehicles and reduce our oil import bill. The decreased use of petroleum based vehicles will also lessen the carbon emissions. Presently major chunk of emissions of greenhouses gases are produced by petroleum burning vehicles. Furthermore, the promotion of EV vehicles and scooters will also lower the daily travelling costs of the people.
