EV Charging Stations on Pakistan's Motorways: All 22 Fast Chargers on the M-5, M-2, M-1, N-5 and in Cities

The rest are in cities: 5 in Karachi, 3 in Lahore, 3 in Islamabad and 1 at Nathia Gali. Hubco Green runs most of the public ones with PSO and APL, and BYD's importer, Mega Motor Company, runs 3 at its own sites. The full list, with addresses and charger power, is below.

Motorway and highway EV chargers in Pakistan

Ten fast chargers sit on intercity roads: 4 on the M-5 between Sukkur and Multan, 2 on the M-1 at Hakla, 1 at the Lahore end of the M-2, and 3 on the N-5 in Sindh. All ten are listed as open 24/7.

North and South service areas sit on opposite sides of the motorway, one for each direction of travel. Zahir Pir, Multan and Hakla each have a charger on both sides, so you do not need to cross over. Ravi Bridge on the M-2 is a single station.

The motorway gaps to plan around

The list has no charger on the M-3 or M-4 between Multan and Lahore, and none along the M-2 between Ravi Bridge and Islamabad. On those stretches you need enough charge to reach the next listed point.

That matters for range. BYD quotes up to 410 km for the Atto 3 and up to 650 km for the Seal, but those are test figures. Motorway speed, a full car and the air conditioner all cut real range. Plan each leg so you arrive with at least a fifth of the battery left.

Hubco Green's stated plan is a charging station every 200 to 250 km on the route from Karachi to Peshawar. Until the gaps are filled, a trip from Multan to Lahore or from Lahore to Islamabad needs a full charge at the start. For the speed rules on those roads, see the motorway speed limits.

EV charging stations in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad

Karachi has 5 listed chargers, Lahore 3 and Islamabad 3. The fastest city charger is the 120 kW unit at PGL Jasmine on MM Alam Road, Lahore. Mall chargers at Ocean Mall, Metro Safari and Zeta Mall are slower 30 kW units.

The three MMC stations are listed as dealership chargers, at BYD sites. The others are public. Lahore also has chargers that LESCO has connected, which are on the LESCO list of 32 chargers.

How long a fast charge takes

BYD says its cars reach 50 per cent charge in under 30 minutes on a 60 kW public charger. A 120 kW unit can be faster if the car accepts that power. A 30 kW mall charger takes roughly twice as long as a 60 kW one.

At home, BYD supplies a 2.2 kW charger with every electric car, which takes 8 to 12 hours for a full charge. Its optional 7 kW charger, fitted at home, takes 4 to 6 hours. A fast charge on the road is for topping up, not for a full battery every time.

How to charge at a public station

Find the nearest station on BYD's locator, drive in and plug in. BYD says every public station it lists has trained staff to help, so first-time users do not have to work out the charger alone.

1. Open the BYD station locator and search by city, or pick a province.
2. Check the station's power (30, 60 or 120 kW) and hours before you leave.
3. Park at the charger and open your car's charging flap.
4. Ask the attendant to start the session, or follow the screen on the charger.
5. Pay as the station asks, then unplug and close the flap.

The locator does not show the price per unit. Ask at the counter before you start. Stations buy their electricity at a regulated rate, and what that means for your cost is covered in what it costs to charge an electric car.

Common questions

How many EV charging stations are on Pakistan's motorways?

BYD's locator lists 7 on motorways: 4 on the M-5 at Zahir Pir and Multan, 2 on the M-1 at Hakla and 1 on the M-2 at Ravi Bridge, Lahore. Three more are on the N-5 at Hyderabad, Moro and Sukkur.

Can I drive an electric car from Karachi to Lahore?

Yes, with planning. There are chargers on the N-5 and the M-5 up to Multan, but none on the list between Multan and Lahore. Leave Multan with a full battery.

Can a non-BYD electric car use these chargers?

The public stations run by Hubco Green with PSO and APL are open to the public. The three MMC chargers are dealership chargers at BYD sites. Check the plug type with the station first.

Which is the fastest EV charger in Pakistan on this list?

Three chargers are 120 kW: Hakla North and Hakla South on the M-1, and PGL Jasmine on MM Alam Road, Lahore.

Who do I call if my electric car runs flat on the motorway?

Call the motorway police on 130 for help on the road. The other numbers are on the NHMP helpline page. BYD's own number is 021-111-111-293.

How we verified this

What we checked and where we read it.

We read BYD Pakistan's charging page at byd-mega.com/byd-charging and its station locator at byd-mega.com/byd-locations on 15 November 2026, and listed every charging station it showed with its power, operator and hours. Ocean Mall is the only station with set hours (12 pm to 10 pm). The locator gives no price per unit. The charging times are BYD's own figures. Earlier coverage of public chargers is in EV charging stations in Pakistan.
