PSO EV Charging — Pakistan's National Network

Pakistan State Oil (PSO) operates the country's most extensive EV charging network, with stations at motorway service areas and urban petrol stations spanning every major city. As Pakistan's dominant fuel retailer, PSO was among the first to invest in EV charging infrastructure at scale — making it the default choice for inter-city EV travel on the national motorway network.

PSO EV stations support CCS2, GB/T, and Type 2 connectors — the broadest compatibility of any operator in Pakistan, covering Chinese EVs (BYD, HAVAL, MG, Changan) and European/Korean brands alike. Most motorway PSO stations operate 24 hours, making them the backbone of Pakistan's long-distance EV travel infrastructure.

PSO Charging on Pakistan Motorways

PSO's motorway stations are the foundation of inter-city EV travel in Pakistan. Here's the current coverage on each major motorway:

M-1 (Islamabad–Peshawar)

155km
PSO Motorway Service Area (mid-route)
PSO Cantt Peshawar (arrival)

Single-charge route for most EVs. No mid-route charging needed for 50kWh+ cars.

M-2 (Lahore–Islamabad)

375km
PSO Magic River ~25km from Lahore
Bhera Service Area 200km (DC 120kW)
Aramco aStop near Islamabad

Pakistan's most EV-travelled route. PSO at both ends, mid-route DC at Bhera.

M-9 (Karachi–Hyderabad)

165km
ABB / PSO ~60km from Karachi
Al-Madina PSO ~80km from Karachi

Single-charge route for 40kWh+ EVs. Two mid-route options.

M-4/M-5 (Lahore–Multan–Karachi)

900km
PSO Multan (critical charge point)
Sukkur area (verify before departure)

Multan is the essential charge stop. M-5 through Sindh is still developing — plan carefully.
