Pakistan has taken a big step towards clean energy. The country’s first 120KW fast EV charging station is now open. Federal Minister for Power, Sardar Awais Ahmed Khan Leghari, inaugurated the station in Islamabad. This project, developed by GoGreen Avenue, aims to boost electric vehicle (EV) adoption. It will also help cut carbon emissions and support sustainable energy solutions.
A Major Step Towards Green Energy

Lower Charging Costs for EV Owners
In a key policy shift, the government reduced EV charging costs. The rate dropped from Rs71 to Rs39 per unit. This price cut will make electric cars more affordable. It will also encourage more people to switch to EVs.
Public-Private Collaboration for Sustainability
The project was made possible through public-private partnerships. Minister Leghari praised private companies for their role in Pakistan’s sustainability goals. He encouraged more investments in clean energy projects.
Government’s Commitment to Clean Energy
Pakistan is focusing on renewable energy and green transportation. The minister confirmed that the government will continue supporting EV projects. These steps will benefit both the environment and economy.
Future of Electric Vehicles in Pakistan
This fast-charging station is just the beginning. More stations are expected across major cities. This will make EVs a practical choice for daily use. The government’s vision is to build a strong EV infrastructure and reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
