Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to install a home EV charger in Pakistan?
A 7.2 kW Type 2 AC wallbox installed in a Lahore home runs PKR 250,000 to 450,000 in 2026 depending on the charger brand, cable length from the meter, and whether earthing or a 3-phase upgrade is needed. Premium smart chargers with solar integration sit at the higher end.
Can I charge my EV directly from solar?
Yes — with a smart wallbox like MyEnergi Zappi, Easee, or Wallbox Pulsar, the charger reads your solar surplus from the inverter and only draws excess solar to charge the car. With a hybrid system you can also draw from battery. We program the priority during installation.
Will my house wiring need an upgrade?
For a 7.2 kW single-phase charger, most properties with a 30–60 kVA sanctioned load can accept it without DISCO action — we just add a dedicated breaker and cable run. For 22 kW 3-phase or DC fast charging, a load increase application to the DISCO is usually needed.
How long does it take to fully charge a BYD Atto 3 / MG ZS EV at home?
On a 7.2 kW Type 2 wallbox, a depleted Atto 3 (~50 kWh battery) charges to full in roughly 7 hours; an MG ZS EV (~44 kWh) in roughly 6 hours. Most owners plug in overnight and wake up to a full charge — daily commute use rarely needs a full top-up anyway.
Is the Type 2 connector standard in Pakistan?
Yes — Type 2 (Mennekes) for AC and CCS2 (Type 2 + DC pins) for DC fast charging are the de-facto Pakistani standards, matching every EV currently sold here including BYD, MG, Hyundai, and Audi. Tesla vehicles imported privately may need a Type 2 to NACS adaptor.
Can you install at a commercial site (hotel, mall, society)?
Yes. We install single-bay or multi-bay commercial setups with load management, RFID or app-based access, and optional payment integration. For OCPP-compliant national network compatibility, ask us about ABB, Wallbox, or Easee commercial models.
Does the charger work during loadshedding?
Only if your home has a hybrid solar system with sufficient battery. A grid-only home loses charging during outages. If running EV charging through outages matters, pair the wallbox with a hybrid solar system sized for the additional load.
