A Lahore-based owner of Audi Etron is charging the vehicle at his bungalow.
KARACHI: Lack of charging infrastructure network along highways/motorways has been a key hurdle restricting plying of costly electric vehicles (EVs) on inter-city routes in Pakistan.
Owners of these vehicles have not been able to test the technology on long routes by driving to other cities due to battery limitations and unavailability of charging points.
Millat Tractors Ltd (MTL) Executive Director Sohail Bashir Rana told
Dawn that he purchased Audi Etron at a price of Rs16 million in March last year, but he has to charge the vehicle at home through two options first, a 220V slow-charging system that requires 10-12 hours from a normal socket and, second, a 380V speed-charging system.
