Pakistan targets 3,000 public EV charging stations by 2030 under new policy
Pakistan's Ministry of Industries and Production has announced plans to deploy approximately 3,000 public EV charging facilities nationwide by 2030, according to a written reply to the National Assembly. The New Energy Vehicle Policy 2025 to 2030 includes 40 fast charging stations in phase one along motorways and the N-5 National Highway, with chargers spaced at roughly 50 kilometre intervals on major routes. The government is offering a dedicated commercial electricity tariff for charging stations, expedited grid connections, public private partnerships and viability gap funding to attract private investment, alongside plans for battery swapping facilities for two and three wheelers and a regulatory framework for lithium ion battery recycling.
Why it matters
The policy creates a structured procurement pipeline for charging infrastructure developers and CPOs, with clear phase one targets, defined highway spacing requirements and financial incentives including dedicated tariffs and viability gap funding. The emphasis on fuel station partnerships and battery swapping infrastructure signals multiple revenue streams for operators entering the Pakistani market.
