HUBCO Green (Private) Limited (HGL), a subsidiary of The Hub Power Company Limited (HUBCO), in a transformational partnership with Pakistan State Oil (PSO) inaugurated its first state-of-the-art New Energy Vehicle (NEV) Charging Station on Lahore-Islamabad Motorway (M-2), one of the busiest travel corridors of Pakistan.
As part of its strategic entry into the NEV market through BYD Pakistan – Mega Motor Company (MMC), HGL has a long-term plan to develop a nationwide NEV charging infrastructure. HGL will deploy a network of chargers every 200 km from Karachi to Peshawar, alleviating range anxiety for NEV users and promoting environmental sustainability.
Along with HGL’s EV Charging Station, this PSO Experience Hub on Magic River Rest Stop also features a Vibe Café and Store to provide customers with a space that offers both comfort and convenience while their vehicles recharge.
Speaking at the launch event, Mr. Kamran Kamal, CEO, HUBCO, stated: “HUBCO Green is a strategic extension of our long-term view on where the country’s mobility landscape is headed. At the heart of our mandate is a commitment to promote sustainability and an environmentally responsible automobile sector. Our focus is on building NEV charging infrastructure where it matters most, creating value with the right partners and at the right scale.This strategic partnership with PSO is a step in operationalizing that vision. With the inauguration of this NEV charging station, we reaffirm our commitment to a cleaner, greener Pakistan.”
Also present at the event, Mr. Danish Khaliq, VP Sales & Strategy, BYD-MMC said:“BYD, the world’s No. 1 NEV manufacturer, entered the Pakistan market with a vision to drive electric mobility and sustainability in the country’s automobile sector. Following the installation of charging stations in key urban cities, this launch marks the first of many in our long-term plan to develop a nationwide charging network along intercity routes, enabling NEV users to travel long distances with ease and convenience. Our advanced technology supports fast charging, significantly reducing wait times for travelers on long-haul journeys. This partnership with PSO reflects our commitment to supporting Pakistan’s transition to NEV adoption and ensuring the country is future-ready.”
Mr. MohsinMangi, CSTO, PSO, asserted: “At PSO, we’re driving Pakistan’s energy transformation. Our partnership with HUBCO Green is a major milestone toward sustainable mobility. By turning our widespread retail network into clean-energy hubs, we’re preparing the foundation for a smarter, more environmentally friendly Pakistan.The launch of this EV charging station isn’t just about technology, it reflects our commitment to protecting the environment and serving today’s traveler.And we’re not stopping at EVs. With VIBE, we’ve introduced modular, SEED-certified convenience stores connected to our e-commerce platform, designed for seamless, sustainable retail on the move. VIBE Café offers barista-quality coffees and artisanal treats for those little moments of indulgence. Through Asaan Safar, we’re enhancing travel comfort with executive amenities along key routes, all coordinated through the Fuelink app. Each of these projects is part of one clear goal: to support every traveler, with cleaner energy, elevated services and genuine care.”
The station features a 60kW fast charger that can simultaneously charge two vehicles, delivering a 50% charge, for instance, to the BYD Atto 3 in less than 30 minutes, which is equivalent to 160–200 km, ideal for staying powered up while on the go.
Leveraging HUBCO’s focused ambitions in the NEV sphere through BYD-MMC and with PSO’s vast retail footprint, HGL lays the groundwork for a reliable, countrywide NEV charging network that supports Pakistan’s evolving mobility needs and its broader environmental goals.
