BYD Pakistan Partners with HUBCO Green to Establish Extensive Fast-Charging Network

BYD Pakistan-Mega Motor Company (BYD|MMC) has entered into a collaboration with HUBCO Green (Private) Limited (HGL) to introduce the country’s “largest DC fast-charging network for new energy vehicles (NEVs),” according to a recent announcement.

The declaration specifies that HGL intends to set up around 128 DC fast chargers nationwide over the course of the next three years, with plans to complete 50 installations by December 2025.

Network Development

The charging network will focus on three primary sectors:

  • Urban Centers: Collaboration with major oil marketing companies (OMCs) such as PSO, PARCO Gunvor, and Attock Petroleum Limited will power urban charging stations.
  • Intercity Highways and Motorways: Chargers will be installed every 150-200 kilometers to facilitate long-distance journeys.
  • Destination Charging: Commercial centers, shopping malls, hotels, and hospitals will host charging stations to improve customer access.

The statement also mentioned that “Several vital installations are already up and running in Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad, including those at PSO stations and BYD Pakistan dealerships.”

Danish Khaliq, Vice President of Sales and Strategy at BYD Pakistan, noted that “One of the biggest challenges to NEV adoption in Pakistan is still concerns about driving range.”
He further stated, “Through this innovative partnership with HUBCO Green, we’re not only resolving a logistical problem but also influencing the country’s entire mobility environment.

Our dedication extends beyond just building infrastructure; it’s about giving our customers the confidence and peace of mind that electric mobility is not only achievable but also viable. As pioneers in this field, BYD is pleased to take the lead in making clean transportation a reality for the entire country.”

Masood Zafar, Vice President of Projects at HUBCO, commented: “We think that a broad, easily accessible infrastructure is the cornerstone of a green transportation revolution. We are establishing the groundwork for a cleaner, greener future through our partnership with BYD Pakistan.”
