For EV drivers, this co-location model delivers three concrete benefits:

  • Familiar, trusted locations. PSO stations are known quantities — drivers already know where they are along major motorway routes and have confidence in their operation.
  • Existing amenities. PSO motorway stations typically include toilets, food outlets, and rest areas — exactly what a 30 to 45 minute DC fast charge session requires.
  • 24/7 operation. PSO's motorway locations operate around the clock, which means HUBCO Green chargers at these sites are available day and night — critical for long-distance travel and commercial fleet use.

The partnership also gives HUBCO Green a credible pathway to rapid site expansion: PSO operates hundreds of stations across Pakistan, providing a ready-made location pipeline as the network scales toward its 100+ station target.

BYD Partnership: Benefits for New EV Buyers

HUBCO Green has also entered a promotional partnership with BYD, the Chinese EV manufacturer that has established a significant presence in Pakistan. Under this arrangement, new BYD vehicle buyers receive charging credits redeemable at HUBCO Green stations — providing an immediate practical incentive to use the network and helping build customer relationships as Pakistan's EV fleet grows.

For buyers considering a BYD Atto 3, Seal, or another BYD model in Pakistan, the availability of HUBCO Green charging credits is worth factoring into the total ownership cost calculation. Confirm the current promotion terms with your BYD dealer at the time of purchase, as credit amounts and eligibility may change.

Station Locations: The M-2 Motorway Corridor

HUBCO Green's flagship infrastructure is its coverage of the M-2 Motorway, the 367-kilometre expressway connecting Lahore and Islamabad — Pakistan's busiest inter-city road corridor and the primary route for both private and commercial traffic between the country's two largest economic centres.

Confirmed HUBCO Green charging points on the M-2 include:

  • Ravi Toll Plaza area (Lahore end): The first stop heading northwest from Lahore, positioned at the motorway's urban fringe. Useful for drivers who have arrived in Lahore from a longer journey and need to charge before re-entering the city, or for those setting off with less than a full battery.
  • Bhera area (mid-corridor): The most critical location on the route — sitting roughly halfway between Lahore and Islamabad, Bhera is the natural stop for drivers whose vehicle range requires a mid-journey charge. At 60 kW DC, a charge session here can add 100 to 150 km of range in 25 to 35 minutes depending on the vehicle.
  • Multiple additional points along the corridor: HUBCO Green has been adding sites along the M-2 progressively. Use chargingstationradar.com for current station status and confirmed GPS coordinates before travel, as new stations continue to come online.

Beyond the M-2, HUBCO Green stations are operating in Lahore city, Karachi, and Islamabad, with city locations serving daily urban charging needs rather than long-distance travel.

Charger Specifications

HUBCO Green deploys 60 kW DC fast chargers using the CCS2 (Combined Charging System 2) connector standard. CCS2 is the dominant DC fast-charging standard in Pakistan and is compatible with all major EV models currently available in the market, including the BYD Atto 3, BYD Seal, MG ZS EV, and the electric buses entering fleet service from several manufacturers.

What 60 kW DC fast charging means in practice for common Pakistan-market vehicles:

  • BYD Atto 3 (60.5 kWh battery): Approximately 35 to 45 minutes from 20% to 80% state of charge, adding roughly 200 to 220 km of range.
  • BYD Seal (82.56 kWh, Standard Range variant): Approximately 45 to 60 minutes from 20% to 80%, adding roughly 250 to 270 km of range.
  • MG ZS EV (51 kWh battery): Approximately 30 to 40 minutes from 20% to 80%, adding roughly 160 to 180 km of range.

Actual charge times vary based on battery temperature, ambient temperature, and the vehicle's own charge management system. In Pakistan's summer heat, pre-cooling the battery before arrival at a DC charger — where your vehicle's software supports this — can meaningfully improve charge speed and session efficiency.

Pricing: What Does HUBCO Green Charging Cost?

HUBCO Green charges approximately Rs 90 to 100 per kWh at its DC fast-charging stations. This is competitive positioning within Pakistan's public charging market and notably cheaper than Shell Recharge, which commands a premium partly on the basis of its higher-powered hardware.

For a practical sense of cost: a full charge from near-empty (adding approximately 50 kWh net) costs Rs 4,500 to 5,000. For a BYD Atto 3 owner, this translates to an effective per-kilometre fuel cost of approximately Rs 13 to 16 — still substantially below the Rs 22 to 28 per kilometre typical for a petrol vehicle at current fuel prices. Even against Shell Recharge, HUBCO Green offers a meaningful per-session saving for motorway drivers who charge regularly.

The implication for regular motorway travellers: HUBCO Green public charging makes the economics of long-distance EV travel clearly viable. Frequent motorway users will still benefit from supplementing with home charging wherever possible to reduce per-km costs, but the pricing gap between home and public charging is less punishing here than at premium competitors.

Payment Methods

As of mid-2026, payment at HUBCO Green stations is made directly at the station, accepting both cash and card. The network has a dedicated mobile application in development, which is expected to enable pre-session payment, remote session monitoring, and account-based billing — features that fleet operators in particular will benefit from when managing multiple vehicles and expense reporting.

For now, drivers should carry either cash or a debit/credit card when planning to use HUBCO Green stations. The station attendants at PSO locations are typically familiar with the charging equipment and can assist with session initiation if needed.

Operating Hours

Motorway HUBCO Green stations, co-located at PSO service areas, operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This is a significant operational advantage for commercial and fleet EV use, where overnight and early-morning charging windows are often preferred to avoid peak-hour congestion at service areas.

City locations may have more limited operating hours depending on the specific host site. Confirm with chargingstationradar.com before planning a charge stop at an urban location, particularly if you intend to charge late at night or early in the morning.

How HUBCO Green Compares to Other Pakistan Networks

Pakistan's public charging market now has several established operators, each with different strengths. Here is how HUBCO Green sits relative to the main alternatives:

  • vs Shell Recharge: Shell operates higher-powered chargers (up to 180 kW at select locations) and has a stronger city presence, particularly in Lahore and Karachi. HUBCO Green has the advantage on motorway coverage and pricing — Shell Recharge is meaningfully more expensive per kWh. For city-centre charging where maximum speed matters, Shell may be the better option; for M-2 corridor travel, HUBCO Green currently offers more consistent coverage and lower cost.
  • vs PSO standalone: Some PSO stations have their own charging equipment independent of the HUBCO Green partnership. Where HUBCO Green equipment is present, it tends to be newer and better maintained. The PSO co-location advantage is shared, but equipment quality favours HUBCO Green at those combined sites.
  • vs Bahria Town EV: Bahria Town's charging network is estate-specific — it serves residents and visitors within Bahria Town developments in Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi. It is not a public motorway or open-city network in the same sense. For general-purpose EV travel, HUBCO Green and Shell are the relevant comparators.

The honest assessment: no single operator in Pakistan yet offers complete national coverage. Most long-distance EV drivers currently use a combination of networks depending on their route. HUBCO Green is the strongest option for M-2 corridor travel and is building toward broader national motorway coverage at a pace no competitor currently matches.

Expansion Plans: Where HUBCO Green Is Heading

HUBCO Green has publicly committed to reaching 100+ charging points by the end of 2026 — a more than fivefold expansion from the current 20+ stations. This is an ambitious target, but the PSO partnership gives the network a credible site pipeline: with hundreds of PSO locations across Pakistan, the limiting factor is equipment procurement and installation pace rather than access to land or locations.

The expansion roadmap prioritises:

  • Motorway network completion: Coverage of M-1 (Islamabad to Peshawar), M-3 (Faisalabad to Pindi Bhattian), M-4 (Pindi Bhattian to Multan), M-5 (Multan to Sukkur), and M-9 (Karachi to Hyderabad) is the stated priority. Completing these corridors would establish HUBCO Green as the dominant motorway charging operator in the country.
  • Tier-1 city densification: Additional urban stations in Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad to serve daily commuters and commercial operators who need reliable city charging beyond the motorway network.

For fleet operators and businesses managing growing EV fleets, HUBCO Green's NEPRA registration is particularly relevant. It gives the operator legal clarity on tariff structures and is increasingly a prerequisite for corporate charging contracts and government fleet programmes.

Practical Guide: Charging with HUBCO Green for the First Time

If you are planning to use HUBCO Green for the first time — whether for a Lahore to Islamabad drive or a local city charge stop — here is a practical approach:

  • Plan your stops before departure. Check chargingstationradar.com for confirmed HUBCO Green locations along your route and their current operational status. The M-2 stations are the most reliable, but confirming before a long drive removes uncertainty.
  • Arrive between 20% and 30% state of charge. DC fast charging is most efficient in this range. Arriving near-zero adds range anxiety without meaningfully speeding the session; arriving above 50% is inefficient as charge rates taper in the upper battery range.
  • Use the session time productively. A 60 kW session adding useful range takes 25 to 45 minutes. The PSO facilities at motorway stops — food, toilets, rest areas — are designed for exactly this kind of break. Build the stop into your journey time rather than treating it as a delay.
  • Have cash or card ready. Until the HUBCO Green app is operational, payment is at-station. Both cash and card are accepted.
  • Ask the attendant if you are unsure. PSO station staff at HUBCO Green co-located sites are generally familiar with the charger operation. If a session does not initiate correctly, the attendant can typically help or escalate to HUBCO Green support quickly.
  • Stop at 80%, not 100%, on mid-journey charges. DC fast chargers deliver maximum power up to approximately 80% state of charge. Charging above 80% takes almost as long as the previous 60 percentage points combined and is rarely worth the additional time on a mid-journey top-up.

The Bottom Line

HUBCO Green is the most systematically built motorway charging network in Pakistan as of mid-2026. Its parent company's financial stability, the PSO co-location model, competitive pricing at Rs 90 to 100/kWh, and NEPRA registration give it structural advantages that smaller operators cannot easily replicate. The 60 kW DC charger specification is well-matched to current Pakistan-market vehicles, and 24/7 operation at motorway sites is exactly what long-distance EV drivers need.

The main caveat is the same one that applies to every Pakistan charging network at this stage: coverage is growing but not yet complete, and the city network remains thinner than the motorway presence. The 100+ station target by end-2026 will be the real test of execution capability — but on current trajectory, HUBCO Green is the operator best positioned to become Pakistan's dominant motorway charging brand.
