  No, but I also have yet to see their governments making announcements that they will be banning ICE vehicles. The long tail for ICE vehicles, even in western countries, will be decades after the last new one is sold. The 1992 Nissan Sentra was still being manufactured and sold in Mexico until 2017 as the Nissan Tsuru. It was finally retired as Mexico has moved upmarket enough on the global scale that the government can do things like ban a $7k car due to safety concerns. Similarly, I expect ICE vehicles to still dominate until such time as solar becomes so incredibly cheap and electric cars destined for Pakistan can be plugged directly into the PV array.
