The Punjab government has made it mandatory to install Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations at all new fuel pumps across the province. This major decision, taken under the leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif, aims to promote clean transportation and reduce urban pollution.
The move is part of Punjab’s broader clean energy and climate policy, designed to tackle smog and emissions in major cities while encouraging people to shift toward electric vehicles. With fuel prices rising and air quality worsening, this initiative comes as a relief for vehicle owners seeking affordable and eco-friendly alternatives.
Officials say that expanding EV charging options at fuel stations will make it easier for people to adopt electric vehicles. It will also cut dependence on imported oil, support Pakistan’s environmental commitments, and promote innovation in the transport sector.
