Questions are being raised over Maryam Nawaz’s E-Taxi Scheme after reports claimed that a vehicle provided under the initiative experienced a battery failure just one month after being handed over. According to the reports, the vehicle’s battery is said to be worth around Rs. 3.5 million, adding to concerns about the cost and reliability of electric vehicles being introduced through the scheme.
The reported incident has sparked discussion among citizens and social media users, particularly because the E-Taxi Scheme was introduced to promote cleaner transportation, reduce fuel costs, and provide new earning opportunities for drivers. If confirmed, an early battery failure could raise concerns about vehicle quality, battery durability, maintenance arrangements, and after-sales support available to scheme beneficiaries.

Electric vehicles depend heavily on their battery systems, making battery performance one of the most important factors in their overall reliability and operating cost. A major battery problem only weeks after receiving a vehicle would naturally raise questions about whether the issue was caused by a manufacturing defect, improper charging, technical malfunction, or another factor.
However, the reported case should not automatically be treated as evidence that all vehicles under the scheme are facing similar problems. A proper technical investigation would be needed to determine the exact cause of the failure and whether the battery requires replacement under warranty.
The incident has nevertheless placed renewed attention on the Punjab E-Taxi Scheme and its implementation. Beneficiaries and the public will likely be looking for clarification from the authorities and the relevant vehicle manufacturer regarding the reported failure, warranty coverage, replacement costs, and long-term support.
