With Pakistan racing to embrace the transition to environment-friendly transport, major players in the automotive sphere seem to be partaking in attaining this milestone.
It has emerged that Attock Petroleum Limited (APL) has announced a collaboration with HUBCO Green (Private) Limited (HGL), Hub Power Holding Limited's subsidiary, to launch electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across the country.
In a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), APL confirmed the partnership, underscoring that the companies will jointly develop and market EV charging facilities at selected APL locations nationwide. The agreement was officially signed on 24 April 2025.
HUBCO Green, which recently inaugurated its first EV charging station at Ocean Mall, Karachi, will establish a network of EV chargers along motorways, highways, major cities, and upscale commercial centres.
The development comes on the heels of HUBCO Green’s earlier partnership with Pakistan State Oil Company Limited (PSO) in February 2025 for a similar nationwide rollout.
To expedite EV adoption, the government recently granted licences to 57 EV manufacturers and slashed electricity tariffs for EV charging stations by 45%, from Rs71.10 to Rs39.40.
These measures are viewed by industry experts as part of a broader strategy to "make EVs accessible to the masses" and attract more investment in Pakistan’s growing electric mobility sector.
