Description:
For a reasonable Rs300,000, your gas guzzler can be converted into an electric car. This is thanks to the ingenuity of students from the Usman Institute of Technology.
The Institute's Bachelor of Electrical (Major in Electronics) students have transformed an ordinary small 800cc car into an electric vehicle; a revolutionary development in Pakistan's automotive sector.
Ghulam Muhammad Lohar, Ahmed Zaheer Hussain, Syed Muhammad Hasnain Rizvi, Mubashir Hussain Shirazi, Muhammad Ata Mustafa, Shaheer Arif, and Sameer Basit Shah have developed battery packs and motor systems for electric cars under the aegis of their supervisor Dr Abid Karim.
The Suzuki Mehran car, a popular choice among the country's motorists, has been chosen to test this system. The little hatchback has been successfully converted and developed with the financial support of Syed Asif Hassan, a Pakistani living in the United States.
Ghulam Mohammad Lohar, a member of the team that developed the electric car, told The Express Tribune that any small vehicle can be converted into an electric car.
What is unique about the system developed by the students is that the driver can still choose to run their combustion engine if he or she so desires, Lohar adds.
Ghulam Mohammad says that usually, electric cars do not drive on petrol and this limits their ability to travel long distances, such as between cities.
On the other hand, it is difficult for the common man to buy a new electric car from a mainstream manufacturer as the prices are astronomical.
