Electric Cars in Pakistan
Pakistan has a very limited number of electric and hybrid cars. BMW i8, Audi e-tron, MG ZS EV, Toyota Prius are most seen on the roads, and all can be easily charged at the new Chan EV Station at Bhera within 30 minutes. This is huge for all EV owners because till now they could only drive their electric cars within the city. Now, they can travel to Lahore from Islamabad and charge their EVs on the way. Of course, if you are travelling from Lahore to Islamabad, you’d have to take the long route towards Bhera South to charge the car and then get back on track.
Many Pakistanis have had their concerns for not having an EV charging facility on motorway. The CHAN EV Station is an assurance for us all that EVs are the future of Pakistan, and we should not shy away from buying electric cars.
