EV Charging Stations in Karachi
Part of the ChargePK guide to EV charging in Pakistan · Updated July 2026
Karachi is Pakistan's largest city and its biggest EV market, with charging stations concentrated in the southern and central districts. From AC chargers at seafront malls to DC fast chargers for quick top-ups, ChargePK puts every EV charging station in Karachi on one live map.
This page covers where to charge across Karachi, what it costs, and how to plan the long M-9 run north toward Hyderabad and beyond.

ChargePK maps AC and DC chargers right across Karachi. The main areas to find them include:
- Clifton & DHA — the densest cluster of chargers, including DC fast options.
- Dolmen Mall (Clifton) & Ocean Mall — charge while you shop by the sea.
- Gulshan-e-Iqbal & Shahrah-e-Faisal — central coverage for commuters.
- Bahria Town Karachi — growing coverage on the city's outskirts.
Karachi's sheer size means charger availability varies a lot by district, so ChargePK's distance sorting and call-ahead phone numbers are especially useful here. On intercity trips north, always check the next two stops before you set off.
Charger types you'll find
Public charging in Karachi 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.

|---|---|
| Home charging | ~20–40 |
| Public AC charging | ~40–90 |
| Public DC fast charging | ~80–160 |
