Pakistan Plans 3,000 Public EV Charging Stations by 2030

Pakistan plans to set up about 3,000 public EV charging stations nationwide by 2030, the Ministry of Industries and Production has said in a written reply to the National Assembly.

EV Charging Stations Rollout Under NEV Policy

Under the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) Policy 2025-30, the first phase will install 40 fast-charging stations along motorways and selected sections of the N-5 National Highway, with charging points planned roughly every 50 kilometres on major highways. Fuel stations will be encouraged to add EV chargers, and fast, Level 2 and Level 1 facilities will expand, along with battery-swapping stations for electric two- and three-wheelers.

To attract private investors, the government offers a dedicated commercial electricity tariff, faster connections and public-private partnerships, including viability gap funding. In 2025, 3,800 investors showed interest in setting up charging stations.

The policy also covers the collection, reuse, dismantling and recycling of end-of-life EV batteries, particularly lithium-ion. The ministry says a regulatory framework and a nationwide recycling network are being developed.
