Attock Petroleum Limited (APL) announced plans to expand its electric vehicle (EV) charging stations across Pakistan, emphasizing that this initiative will contribute to the fight against climate change and support green business practices by reducing the carbon footprint.
In its annual report to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), APL shared that it has already installed three 180KW fast EV charging systems at key locations and is planning a nationwide expansion to promote the adoption of EVs. This move is expected to play a crucial role in the shift towards sustainable transportation by improving air quality and mitigating climate change.
Additionally, APL revealed it is actively working on expanding its DC fast EV charging network to motorway service areas. Successful installations include EV-charger facilities at Islamabad Club, Garrison Filling Station, and an upgraded facility at Hassan Petroleum, Blue Area, Islamabad.
