EV charging in Pakistan: your questions answered

EVraah is Pakistan's EV charger locator and route planner. It combines a live charging map, a route planner that works out charging stops for a trip, network and city directories, and EV guides.

Yes. The map, route planner and guides are free to use, with no account or subscription required.

Station information is user-submitted and periodically verified. Chargers can go offline or change pricing without notice, so confirm key details before a long trip that depends on a single stop. If you spot a problem, see the next question.

To add a charger that isn't listed, use the Submit a Station page. For a listing that is wrong or no longer working, contact us with the station name and what needs changing, and we will review it.

Open the charging map and turn on Near me to sort stations by distance, then adjust the radius. You can also filter by connector, network and charging speed, switch between map and list views, and get directions to a station.

Coverage includes major cities and key travel corridors, and it keeps growing as new chargers open. Browse the cities page, with pages for Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad, or compare operators such as PSO EV Charging, Shell Pakistan and HUBCO Green on the networks page.

Yes. The map includes stations at motorway service areas and interchanges. See the motorway charging guide or the route guides for Lahore to Islamabad and Karachi to Lahore, and plan your stops before you leave.

Check your car's charging inlet or owner's manual. CCS2 is the most common on new EVs sold in Pakistan, CHAdeMO appears on some older or imported cars, and Type 2 is used for AC charging. Filter the map by connector to see only compatible chargers, or read the connectors guide.

Type 2 carries AC power only. CCS2 adds two DC pins to the same shape, so a CCS2 inlet generally accepts both AC and DC charging. CHAdeMO is a separate DC standard, so check which EVs use CHAdeMO before assuming your car fits.

Usually not directly, because the plugs and communication systems differ. Some adapters work with specific cars, so confirm before relying on one. Our GB/T and CCS2 guide explains the options, and the route planner lets you choose GB/T as your connector.

It depends on battery size, charger power, starting charge and temperature. AC charging can take hours, while DC fast charging suits a shorter top-up, and the rate drops noticeably above about 80%, so shorter stops often beat full charges on a trip. See the charging time guide and fast vs slow charging.

There is no single national price. It varies by network and station, and some charge per kWh while others charge per session. Station details on the map show pricing where it is reported. Old flat per-unit figures that still circulate online are outdated, so check the charging cost guide. Last reviewed October 2026.

Yes, and it is often the most convenient option for daily driving. It usually means a wall-mounted AC charger on a properly rated circuit, installed by a qualified electrician. Avoid long-term charging through ordinary sockets or extension leads. See the home charging guide.

It can be done. System size, when you charge and how the charger connects to your home supply all matter. Our guide on charging an EV with solar panels explains the options.

Enter your start, destination, car, battery level and connector. The route planner returns distance, drive time, charging stops and an estimated cost, and it adjusts for height gained, such as a climb to Murree. Figures are estimates, and you can save the trip or download an itinerary.

Advertised range comes from laboratory test cycles, and different cycles give different numbers. Real range changes with speed, temperature, load, air conditioning and terrain. See our guide to WLTP, NEDC, CLTC and EPA range.

It depends on your daily driving, whether you can charge at home or work, and your budget. Our guide on whether to buy an EV now covers the factors, and the import duty and auto policy guides track policy, which changes and includes unconfirmed proposals. Last reviewed October 2026.
