DC fast charging prices in Pakistan: every listed rate

Public DC charging in Pakistan costs PKR 70 to 200 per kWh, with a median of PKR 115 at chargers of 43 kW and up, so a 30 kWh top-up costs about Rs 3,450. There is no single price: each operator sets its own rate per kWh, and the same 30 kWh top-up can cost twice as much at one charger as at another an hour down the road. This page lists every DC charger on this site that publishes a plausible rate, 108 of them, and it is rebuilt from the live listing every night. The figures below are the listing as of 15 November 2026.

How much does DC fast charging cost in Pakistan?

• Cheapest: PKR 70 per kWh, at Thal Rice Mill - Chowk Azam in Layyah.
• Typical: PKR 115 per kWh, the median at DC fast chargers of 43 kW and up. Half of them charge that or less.
• Dearest: PKR 200 per kWh, at Changan Auto Rahim Yar Khan in Rahim Yar Khan.
• At home, for comparison: Rs 34.53 per kWh on the off-peak residential time-of-use rate under S.R.O. 279(I)/2026, before taxes. What charging costs at home, at AC and at DC sets the three side by side.

A 30 kWh top-up, roughly 20 to 80 percent of a 50 kWh battery, therefore costs about Rs 2,100 at the cheapest charger, about Rs 3,450 at a typical one and about Rs 6,000 at the dearest. At home off-peak the same energy is about Rs 1,036.

The 15 cheapest DC chargers

What does DC charging cost in each city?

Each city page carries its own price list, with the AC chargers as well.

Which charging network is cheapest?

The table shows the networks with two or more priced chargers. The rest of the 108 are single sites or name no operator, and all of them are in the full list below. Who runs what, with a page for each of the larger networks, is on the charging networks page.

Every listed rate

Sorted by city, cheapest first within each.

Left out of the ranges above. 1 listing far above the rest is shown here as listed: DoubleTree by Hilton Nathiagali in Abbottabad at PKR 500 per kWh. A figure that high is usually a flat fee entered as a unit price, so check with the site before relying on it.

Why does the DC price vary so much?

The operator sets it. An operator pays about Rs 39.70 per kWh, with taxes, for its own electricity. What it charges you is its own decision, covering the charger, the site, the grid connection and its margin, and some networks price by location.

Speed costs money. A 180 kW charger needs a bigger grid connection than a 60 kW one, and a higher fixed charge to the utility whether or not anyone plugs in. The fastest chargers are rarely the cheapest.

Motorway sites cost more to run. A service area far from a city has fewer cars through it and a longer supply line, and the rate tends to show it.

A listed rate is not a live rate. Operators change prices without notice. The charger's own page and the app show the current one, and drivers in the community report changes as they find them.

What does a month of DC charging cost?

For a car that charges at home, public fast charging is the exception: a motorway trip, or a top-up on a long day. At 1,500 km a month with four fifths of the charging at home, a mid-size electric car costs about Rs 12,900 a month in electricity, against about Rs 41,900 for a petrol car doing 12 km per litre. Charged only at public DC chargers at the typical rate it would be about Rs 29,300. The cost calculator works it out for your own car and split.
