EV charging in Pakistan: the state of play

Pakistan's shift to electric mobility is well under way. Brands like BYD, MG, Haval, Deepal and others now sell EVs locally, petrol prices keep climbing, and the government has set ambitious electric-vehicle targets. What hasn't kept pace is a single, reliable way to find EV charging stations in Pakistan. Chargers are operated by many different companies and tucked away in shopping malls, hotels, petrol pumps and motorway service areas — so drivers often resort to asking in Facebook groups before a long trip.

That's the problem ChargePK solves. Instead of scattered listings, you get one live map of every known charging station in the country, each with its charger type, connectors, power output, price and a one-tap route. Below is everything you need to know about the network as it stands in 2026.

Types of EV chargers in Pakistan

Public charging in Pakistan falls into two broad categories, and knowing the difference saves you a lot of time:

AC charging (slower, cheaper)

AC chargers typically deliver 7 kW to 22 kW using a Type 2 connector. They're common at hotels, restaurants and workplaces where you'll park for a while. A full charge can take several hours, so AC is best for topping up while you do something else.

DC fast charging (faster, pricier)

DC fast chargers deliver anywhere from 30 kW up to 120 kW or more using CCS2 or CHAdeMO connectors, taking many EVs from roughly 20% to 80% in 30–60 minutes. These are the chargers that make intercity and motorway travel practical, and they're expanding quickly at fuel stations and dedicated hubs.

Charger	Typical power	Connector	Time to charge
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

Coverage is densest in the big cities and grows every month. Here's where you'll find the most EV charging stations in Pakistan today — station counts below are live from the ChargePK map:

Karachi — the largest market, with DC fast and AC chargers at malls, hotels and select fuel stations across the city.
Lahore — arguably the densest charging network in the country, with plenty of DC options for quick top-ups.
Islamabad & Rawalpindi — strong twin-city coverage including fast chargers convenient for northern trips.
Faisalabad, Multan & Gujranwala — growing hubs in central Punjab.
Peshawar, Sialkot & Quetta — expanding coverage in the provinces.
Smaller towns & the north — increasingly served, especially on tourist routes toward Naran, Hunza and Murree.

ChargePK shows the live count and exact locations for each city, so you always know your nearest charger. For a detailed local breakdown, see our city guides:

Motorway & highway charging

Intercity EV travel in Pakistan depends on motorway chargers, and this is where planning matters most. DC fast-charging stops are now available at several service areas along:

M-2 (Lahore–Islamabad) — the busiest EV corridor, with multiple fast-charging stops.
M-1 (Islamabad–Peshawar)
M-3 (Lahore–Abdul Hakeem) and M-4 (Pindi Bhattian–Multan)
M-5 (Multan–Sukkur) — key for reaching southern Punjab and Sindh.
N-5 / GT Road — useful where motorway coverage is thin.

Because a wrong guess on the motorway is costly, ChargePK's journey planner maps every charger within 25 km of your route and shows total distance and drive time — so a Lahore-to-Islamabad or Karachi-to-Multan run is fully planned before you set off.

Connector types explained

Not every charger fits every car, so this is worth getting right:

CCS2 — the most common DC fast-charging standard for European and most new EVs sold in Pakistan.
CHAdeMO — DC fast charging used by some Japanese-origin EVs (e.g. older Nissan Leaf).
Type 2 — the standard AC connector for slower charging.
GB/T — found on some Chinese-market vehicles and a few local stations.

ChargePK lists the exact connectors for every station, so you can confirm compatibility before you drive there.

How much does it cost to charge an EV in Pakistan?

Charging cost depends on the operator and charger type. As a rough guide for 2026:

Where	Approx. price (PKR / kWh)
Home charging (domestic tariff)	~20–40
Public AC charging	~40–90
Public DC fast charging	~80–160

To work out what a charge will cost and how long it will take for your own car, use the EV charging time calculator. If you are comparing quoted range figures between cars, the EV range converter translates between the WLTP, EPA, NEDC and CLTC test standards.

Even at the top of that range, charging an EV remains dramatically cheaper per kilometre than petrol. ChargePK shows the exact price per kWh for each station so you can pick the most economical option nearby, and the built-in charging calculator tells you the precise time and cost for your car and battery.

How to find an EV charging station near you

Finding a charger with ChargePK takes seconds:

Open the map to see every charger near you, colour-coded AC or DC, sorted by distance or price.
Tap any station for connectors, power, price per kWh, amenities and a phone number.
Plan a route with the journey planner to see chargers along an intercity trip.
Navigate or call with one tap to confirm availability before you go.

Tips for EV owners in Pakistan

Charge to 80% on fast chargers — DC charging slows dramatically after 80%, so it's faster to stop and go.
Always have a backup charger in mind on long trips; check the next two stops, not just the nearest.
Call ahead at less-busy stations to confirm the charger is working and free.
Carry your own Type 2 cable for AC stations that don't provide one.
Mind the connector — confirm CCS2 vs CHAdeMO before relying on a station.
