Lahore is Pakistan's second most EV-ready city with 18 registered public charging stations across its commercial corridors, malls, and petrol stations. The Go Green network anchors Lahore's charging infrastructure — with 24-hour DC fast charging on Main Boulevard Gulberg and AC destination chargers at Emporium Mall, Packages Mall, and Johar Town. Three stations sit within 2km of Gulberg alone, making it the most convenient charging zone in the city. Lahore is also the western gateway to Pakistan's most EV-travelled motorway: the M-2 to Islamabad has mid-route DC fast charging at Bhera, and the M-3 and M-4 corridors extend EV coverage to Faisalabad and Multan. This guide covers every public charging station in Lahore, their prices, connectors, and hours — plus the best charging strategy for Lahore residents and inter-city EV travellers.
Lahore's DC fast charging is anchored by Go Green Main Boulevard Gulberg (60kW, 24 hours) — the only round-the-clock DC fast charger in the city centre. Go Green Emporium Mall adds a second DC option in the western commercial belt, and the Dongfeng dealership on the Gulberg strip offers DC charging for both CCS2 and GB/T connectors. For inter-city departures, PSO Magic River near the M-2 on-ramp provides a DC top-up before joining the motorway to Islamabad.
AC destination charging in Lahore runs through the city's major retail belt. Go Green Emporium Mall and Go Green Packages Mall offer 22kW AC chargers in their parking areas — ideal for a full session during a 60–90 minute shopping stop. Johar Town and Main Boulevard Gulberg have AC charger installations at commercial plazas serving daily city drivers. AC charging in Lahore is mature enough that most residents rely on it for all non-urgent top-ups.
Go Green is Lahore's dominant private charging network, operating the critical 24-hour Gulberg DC station and multiple mall destinations. PSO covers the motorway approach points on the M-2 and M-3 corridors. Dealership-linked chargers from Dongfeng and BYD are typically open to the public during business hours and serve Chinese EV owners who need GB/T DC access.
Emporium Mall, Packages Mall, and Gulberg commercial areas all have AC chargers in their parking. A 60–90 minute shopping trip pairs perfectly with a full AC charge.
Go Green Gulberg on Main Boulevard operates round the clock — Lahore's most central 24-hour fast charger. Ideal for late arrivals and early departures without mall dependency.
Heading to Islamabad? M-2 has DC charging at PSO Magic River (km 25) and Bhera (120kW, km 200). Charge to 100% in Lahore before joining for the most comfortable 375km run.
Real-world cost for a 20–80% charge (36.3kWh) on a BYD Atto 3 at Lahore's average public rate of Rs 115/kWh.
Honda City 14km/L at Rs 260/L for equivalent 218km

Go Green Emporium Mall has a 22kW AC charger in the basement parking — perfectly matched to a full mall circuit. Food Republic is a 2-minute walk from the charging bay; Carrefour and H&M anchor the main floor. A typical session adds 35–50km and finishes right as you wrap up shopping.
Go Green Main Boulevard is Lahore's only round-the-clock DC fast charger. The Gulberg strip has cafés, groceries, and restaurants open late — ideal for an evening top-up while you grab dinner. Pace to 30 minutes: that's 70–80% on most EVs.
Go Green Packages Mall offers AC 22kW charging with Lahore's full retail experience next door — Arcadian Food Court, Cinepax, and Carrefour all in one building. Start your session, catch 45 minutes of a film, return to a full battery.
Detailed motorway-by-motorway plans for Lahore's most-travelled EV routes, with stop-by-stop charging guidance.
Pakistan's most-travelled EV route. M-2 has DC fast charging at Bhera Service Area (120kW, km 200) — the essential single stop. Most 60kWh+ EVs complete the full run with one charge. Charge to 100% in Lahore before joining.
Charge to 100% here before joining M-2. Go Green Gulberg is 24-hour DC — no appointment needed. Budget 30–40 minutes for a full charge.
Optional early top-up near the M-2 on-ramp. Useful if you left Lahore below 70%. Not required for full-battery departures — most drivers skip this and go direct to Bhera.
The critical mid-route stop. PSO Bhera has a 120kW DC charger — fastest on the M-2. Charge from 20% to 80% in approximately 25 minutes. Clean facilities, restaurant, and prayer area onsite.
Arrive at Aramco aStop near Expo Centre — Islamabad's premium 24-hour charge destination with café and full amenities onsite. Top up here before any Islamabad city driving.
The shortest motorway EV route in Punjab. 110km is well within single-charge range for any modern EV — no mid-route stop needed. Charge fully in Lahore and arrive in Faisalabad with 60%+ remaining.
Charge to 80%+ in Lahore before departing. DC 60kW adds 100km of range in 30 minutes. Any Lahore charger works — Emporium, Packages Mall, or Gulberg.
Arrive with well above half battery. Top up at PSO D-Ground or M-3 service area as needed. The 110km run is Lahore–Faisalabad's most comfortable EV journey in Pakistan.
The Lahore–Multan M-4 corridor needs one charge stop for most EVs. PSO M-4 service areas near Sahiwal (~130km) break the journey. Multan's PSO M-4/M-5 charger is your arrival top-up before the onward Karachi run.
Charge to 100% before joining M-4. Departing full gives you comfortable range to Sahiwal without anxiety. DC 30–40 minute session at Gulberg.
Mid-route charge stop. Top up from ~40% to 80% in approximately 25 minutes. Clean PSO service area with food options and prayer facilities.
Arrive at the most strategically important charger on the Lahore–Karachi corridor. If continuing south to Karachi, charge to 100% here — it's the last reliable fast charger for hundreds of kilometres.
Go Green Gulberg is busiest weekday evenings 5–8pm. Visit before 11am or after 9pm for zero wait. Emporium and Packages Mall chargers peak on weekends 1–5pm — arrive before noon or after 6pm.
Lahore is on course for a significant EV charging expansion through 2026–2027. The Go Green network has announced multiple new stations across DHA Lahore, Defence Road, and the Bahria Town corridor. Punjab's Green Mobility Policy mandates EV charging infrastructure at all new commercial developments above a certain floor area threshold — meaning every major new mall and plaza opening in Lahore will include public chargers. LESCO's smart metering rollout is enabling time-of-use EV tariffs that will make overnight home charging even cheaper. The M-3 motorway (Lahore–Faisalabad) and M-4 (Lahore–Multan) are both receiving PSO charging investments at service areas, extending Lahore's EV reach into interior Punjab. A proposed Lahore EV taxi programme with designated urban charging hubs is under planning by the Punjab Urban Mobility Authority.
