Pakistan is informal like Arizona — no dedicated EV conversion category yet. I get a certification letter from an approved inspector and a note on the title. It works for registration but creates complications at resale because buyers don't know what to make of it. Formal state processes like Arizona's are genuinely better even if they seem onerous.

Most of these packs don't reach Pakistan without costs that double the price, so I work with locally-sourced motorbike and 3-wheeler NMC packs instead. The principle is identical — grade and load test everything. What I've found useful is the Carfax-equivalent you mention for US cars: I check the vehicle inspection record from the transport authority before buying any pack from a crashed vehicle.

Cells are still landing at $58–65 equivalent in Pakistan after customs and shipping, but even at that price they outperform everything locally for stationary storage. The floor is moving fast and it matters everywhere, not just the US market.
