Rawalpindi, as the twin city of Islamabad, shares a growing EV charging network along its commercial arteries. The Murree Road corridor and Raja Bazaar belt are seeing new installations from PSO and private operators. EV owners in Rawalpindi benefit from easy access to Islamabad's denser charging network — Islamabad's 12 charging stations are just 15 minutes via the twin-city expressway — effectively doubling their options within a short drive.
Rawalpindi has PSO-operated DC fast chargers on Murree Road, capable of charging most EVs from 20% to 80% in approximately 25–35 minutes. The PSO service stations on the Peshawar Road and Murree Road corridor are the primary DC charging points, with CCS2 connectors compatible with BYD, MG, and Changan EVs. PSO's DC fast chargers operate 24 hours, making Rawalpindi a reliable charge stop for early-morning or late-night motorway departures.
AC Type 2 charging is widely available at PSO stations across Rawalpindi, including locations near Saddar, Committee Chowk, and the Faizabad interchange. Type 2 charging typically delivers a full charge in 6–8 hours at 7kW, making it suitable for overnight top-ups at home or extended stops. Private operators including Go Green are expanding Type 2 AC infrastructure in DHA Rawalpindi and Bahria Town Phase 7 near the twin-city boundary.
PSO dominates EV charging in Rawalpindi, operating the city's primary 24-hour DC fast charging points. Private operators including Go Green Network are active in DHA and Bahria Town. Rawalpindi's charging network benefits directly from proximity to Islamabad — the 12km twin-city expressway gives Rawalpindi EV owners access to Islamabad's 12+ stations including the ABB 150kW charger in Blue Area.
Rawalpindi and Islamabad function as one EV zone. Islamabad's 12+ stations are within 15–20 minutes, effectively giving Pindi drivers the capital's full charging network.
PSO motorway service stations on the Rawalpindi–Islamabad corridor operate around the clock. Ideal for early-morning highway departures before commercial chargers open.
