Petropak CNG / Hascol EV charging

EV Charging on GT Road at Kharian

This station sits on GT Road (N-5), next to the Mall of Kharian, in a town that falls almost exactly between Lahore and Rawalpindi. It's a natural stopping point for anyone driving GT Road through Gujranwala, Gujrat, Lalamusa and Jhelum rather than taking the M-2 motorway.

Charging details

This station has a CCS2 DC fast charger rated at 160 kW across 2 bays, available 24/7 — enough to take most EVs on this list from a low charge to a comfortable road-trip level in well under an hour. If you've charged here and the speed or availability didn't match this, let us know so we can update it. For background on what a 160 kW CCS2 charger actually means for your car's charging curve, see our charging-time guide, and our connector compatibility guide if you're not sure your EV takes CCS2.

What route this charger covers

Kharian sits on the GT Road corridor linking Lahore to Rawalpindi and Islamabad, passing through Gujrat and Jhelum along the way — a longer, slower alternative to the M-2 motorway that some drivers prefer for tolls, fuel stops, or simply avoiding motorway traffic. If you're weighing GT Road against the motorway for an EV trip specifically, our Lahore to Islamabad by EV guide covers the M-2 charging stops for comparison, and the route planner works out whether you'll actually need to charge here at all, based on your car, your starting charge, and where you're headed.

EV charging in Pakistan, briefly

Public EV charging in Pakistan is still young and growing unevenly — concentrated in Lahore, Karachi and Islamabad, thinner along highways and in smaller towns like Kharian. Stations are run by a mix of fuel retailers adding chargers to existing filling stations (as appears to be the case here), EV brands installing chargers at dealerships, and independent operators — you can browse who's active where on our networks page. Charging itself splits into slower AC charging, typically used overnight at home or during a long stop, and faster DC charging for topping up quickly on a trip; our fast vs slow charging guide and home charging guide cover both in more detail. Cost also varies by operator and city — see our EV charging cost guide for what to expect, and our where Pakistan's charging network is headed piece for the bigger picture beyond any one station.
