Abstract:
    In recent years, fuel prices in Pakistan have raised a lot. The best solution for fuel price hikes is fully electric vehicles. But, the price of electric vehicles is very high. So, the best alternative is the conversion of Internal Combustion Engine Cars to fully electric vehicles. This process is relatively much inexpensive and gives good long-term economic returns.
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ?
    The purchasing power of the average Pakistani is not very high, and with the recent fuel price raise, it has become difficult to afford transportation. The best solution is electric cars because of their efficiency, but since they are expensive, an alternative is the EV conversion of old gas guzzle
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ?
   The solution is initially targeted at owners of B segment and Kei cars , who mostly use them for intra city travel . The solution will save them lots of transportation costs in the long term , since the cost of full electric transportation has been internationally one third of fuel based transport .
How will the solution works
    All ICE cars have an engine bay , in which there is an IC engine that is mechanically coupled to a transmission , which transfers the power from the engine to wheels . The engine can be taken out and replaced with an electric motor that will also be coupled to the gearbox , using an adapter assembly . The car will still have a functional transmission . The space cleared due to removal of engine and related components will be used to place batteries and power electronics.
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different
    Our competitors are mainly the companies, who are aiming to develop cheap electric vehicles, especially in the motorbike sector, and third-party conversion kit importers. Our solution is unique in the way, that we are the first in Pakistan to offer EV conversion kits as a startup .
