EV Charging Stations in Islamabad
Part of the ChargePK guide to EV charging in Pakistan · Updated July 2026
Islamabad, Pakistan's planned capital, has some of the best-organised EV charging in the country. Its sector layout makes chargers easy to find, and its position at the top of the M-2 and start of the M-1 makes it a natural hub for EV road trips. ChargePK maps every charging station in Islamabad on one live map.
Here's where to charge across the capital, what it costs, and how to plan trips toward Lahore, Peshawar and the northern hill stations.

ChargePK maps AC and DC chargers right across Islamabad. The main areas to find them include:
- Blue Area & F-6/F-7 — central chargers close to offices and restaurants.
- The Centaurus Mall — a popular AC and DC charging stop.
- F-sectors & E-11 — residential coverage across the city.
- Islamabad Expressway & DHA — convenient for commuters and airport trips.
Islamabad's compact, sector-based layout makes charging convenient, but trips into the hills toward Murree, Naran or Hunza need planning because chargers thin out quickly. ChargePK's journey planner is built for exactly this.
Charger types you'll find
Public charging in Islamabad comes in two forms — slower AC for longer stops and DC fast charging for quick top-ups:
| Charger | Typical power | Connector | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| AC (slow) | 7–22 kW | Type 2 | 3–8 hours |
| DC fast | 30–60 kW | CCS2 / CHAdeMO | 45–90 min |
| DC ultra-fast | 60–120+ kW | CCS2 | 20–40 min |
Connectors follow the national standards: CCS2 and CHAdeMO for DC fast charging and Type 2 for AC. ChargePK lists the exact connectors for every station so you can confirm compatibility first.
EV routes from Islamabad
Planning a trip out of Islamabad? These are the main corridors, all mapped in ChargePK's journey planner with every charger within 25 km of your route:

How much does charging cost in Islamabad?
Charging prices depend on the operator and charger type rather than the city itself. As a 2026 guide:
| Where | Approx. price (PKR / kWh) |
|---|---|
| Home charging | ~20–40 |
| Public AC charging | ~40–90 |
| Public DC fast charging | ~80–160 |
ChargePK shows the exact price per kWh for every Islamabad station, and the built-in calculator tells you the precise time and cost for your car.
