Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhary has announced that the first electric vehicle (EV) charging station will be launched in Islamabad.
“Extremely excited to see the launching of first Electric Car Charging Station in Islamabad,” the minister wrote in a tweet.
He added that the first flagship EV charging facility will be set up at Jinnah Avenue Islamabad soon.
“The opening of EV charging stations was another target of Ministry of Science and Technology to encourage E-vehicles as future transportation,” he said.
As the country approved its first-ever electric vehicle (EV) policy last month, vehicles in Pakistan will be shifted on electric power. Under the policy, motorcycles and vehicles would be shifted on electric power, while EV Manufacturing Units would also be established in the country.
