This policy targeted the growing electric vehicle market that has a 30%  and 90% share in passage vehicles and heavy-duty trucks by 2030 and 2040, respectively. Soon after this electric vehicle policy, the 2020-25 policy was launched by Prime Minister Imran Khan, made in Pakistan electric motorcycles were introduced which were less expensive. A Pakistani company named Jolta Electric has manufactured the E-bike, which is available in various models including JE-70, JE-70 L, JE-70 D, JE-100 L, JE-125 L, JE-Scooty, JE-Sports Bike.

Jolta has revealed that the electric bike can be charged overnight and it does not have any clutch or gear. The maintaince cost of the bike is also low and is energy efficient.
