Lahore’s List of 32 EV Charging Sites: What It Really Includes
Lahore EV owners might believe that 32 new charging stations in Lahore will be a major boost for them. Let’s take a look at them in detail now.
Where’s the 32 number came from?
LESCO, Lahore Electric Supply Company, provides a list of active Battery Swapping Station/Chargers for its region. At present, 32 of those sites are in operation as of November 9, 2026.
Do They Charge Electric Cars?
Only 9 charging stations charge for cars and the rest charge for electric bikes. It can prove to be difficult for electric car owners because the charging stations require expansion as more individuals are leaning towards buying EVs.
Are All 32 New?
The news actually involves new and old charging stations as the work is continuously in progression. As of now there are only 32 charging points.
Why are other counts different?
Trackers show different counts for charging stations for example, one shows 36 involving 18 DC fast and 18 AC fast. Yet another reports 21 charging points with 13 are DC fast. Beware of relying on a single source.
how much does it cost to charge the battery?
Public Tariff rates are in the range of Rs 90 to Rs 110 per kWh (ku). As an example, the tracker charges Rs 100 for Go Green Avenue, Rs 105 for Shell Recharge station, Shami Road and Rs 90 for PSO Girja Chowk. Remember prices vary, so be sure to check them before heading out.
Will there be a larger network soon?
It is possible because the Lahore transport company also announced a vision of 241 charging stations for electric vehicles. Plans are there but what’s missing is execution of these visions. There is obviously more need for charging stations as more people are buying electric vehicles for their everyday commute.
Conclusion
I don’t think 32 is a big number with the way people are switching towards electric vehicles for daily commutes. We definitely require more charging stations. As of now only 9 charging points provide charge for electric cars.
