ACharge Installs 120kW DC Fast Charger at BYD Pine Avenue

As electric vehicle adoption grows in Pakistan, accessible and reliable DC fast charging infrastructure is becoming increasingly important. To support this demand, ACharge supplied and installed a 120kW DC Fast Charger at BYD Pine Avenue, adding high-power charging capability to a strategic EV location.

The project demonstrates how professional EV Charger Installation can help dealerships, commercial locations and EV businesses provide a better charging experience while preparing their infrastructure for the growing number of electric vehicles on Pakistan’s roads.

ACharge Delivers a 120kW DC Fast Charger at BYD Pine Avenue

The BYD Pine Avenue project involved the supply and installation of a 120kW DC Fast Charger by ACharge.

A 120kW system is designed for applications where faster charging is important and vehicles need to spend less time connected to the charger.

Project highlights

• Charger capacity: 120kW
• Charger type: DC Fast Charger
• Location: BYD Pine Avenue
• Service provider: ACharge
• Scope: Supply and installation
• Application: EV charging infrastructure
• Market: Pakistan

This installation adds another high-power charging point to the country’s developing EV ecosystem.

Why a 120kW DC Fast Charger Matters

Unlike conventional AC charging, a DC Fast Charger supplies direct current to the vehicle’s battery system, allowing compatible EVs to charge at significantly higher power levels.

A 120kW DC EV Charger can be particularly valuable at locations where charging speed and vehicle turnover matter.

For commercial EV charging locations, higher charging capacity can help:

• Reduce charging downtime
• Support more vehicles throughout the day
• Improve the customer experience
• Provide convenient charging for longer journeys
• Prepare sites for increasing EV adoption
• Create a scalable foundation for future charging demand

Actual charging time depends on the vehicle’s battery capacity, state of charge, charging curve, onboard systems and other site conditions. Therefore, 120kW does not mean every EV will continuously charge at 120kW.

That distinction is important when planning a professional charging installation.

What Makes DC Fast Charger Installation Different?

Installing a high-power charger involves considerably more than positioning the charging unit and connecting a cable.

A professional DC Fast Charger Installation should consider the complete electrical and physical requirements of the site.

Key installation considerations

1. Electrical capacity

The available electrical load must be assessed to determine whether the site can support the charger’s requirements.

2. Site layout

The charger needs to be positioned so EV drivers can access the charging bay safely and conveniently.

3. Protection and safety

Electrical protection, grounding and other safety requirements need to be considered as part of the installation.

4. Cable routing

Proper cable routing helps create a practical and safe charging environment while reducing unnecessary obstruction around the charging area.

5. Commissioning

After installation, the charger should be checked and commissioned to ensure the system is operating correctly.

ACharge’s approach is therefore centred on the complete EV charging project, rather than simply supplying charging hardware.

ACharge’s Role in the BYD Pine Avenue Project

For the BYD Pine Avenue installation, ACharge supplied and installed the 120kW DC Fast Charger, providing the infrastructure required to bring high-power EV charging to the location.

This type of project highlights the importance of working with an experienced EV charging solution provider that understands both the charger and the site requirements.

ACharge provides EV charging solutions for homes, businesses, commercial facilities and public charging applications in Pakistan. Its portfolio includes AC chargers and DC fast-charging systems across different power levels.

120kW DC Fast Charging for Pakistan’s Growing EV Market

Pakistan’s EV charging network is entering an important stage of development.

The government’s New Energy Vehicles Policy 2025–30 identifies charging infrastructure as a key part of EV adoption and outlines plans for the phased deployment of public charging stations, including Level 3 fast-charging infrastructure.

The policy proposes 3,000 public charging stations by 2030, with the initial phase focused on strategically located fast-charging sites.

This creates a clear opportunity for businesses, dealerships, fuel stations, commercial properties and other high-traffic locations to consider future-ready charging infrastructure.

The BYD Pine Avenue installation is an example of how individual charging projects can contribute to this wider infrastructure development.

Why Businesses Should Consider DC EV Chargers

For businesses considering an EV Charger Installation, the decision should be based on expected vehicle demand, site capacity and the intended charging experience.

DC charging can be suitable for:

• EV dealerships requiring customer charging
• Commercial properties serving visitors and employees
• Fleet operators needing faster vehicle turnaround
• Retail destinations where customers spend limited time
• Public charging locations supporting intercity and urban travel
• Petrol stations and mobility hubs adding EV services

A professional site assessment can help determine whether a 60kW, 120kW, 180kW or another charging configuration is appropriate.

The right charger is not necessarily the charger with the highest power rating. Vehicle compatibility, electrical capacity, traffic volume, budget and expected utilisation should all be considered.

What Does a 120kW EV Charger Cost to Install?

There is no single installation price for a 120kW DC Fast Charger.

The total project cost can vary according to:

• Charger model and specifications
• Available electrical capacity
• Distance between the charger and electrical equipment
• Civil and construction requirements
• Protection and distribution equipment
• Cable requirements
• Site accessibility
• Installation complexity
• Commissioning requirements
• Ongoing maintenance requirements

ACharge recommends a site-specific assessment and quotation rather than applying a generic installation price. This approach helps businesses understand the actual infrastructure requirements before committing to a project.

Why Choose ACharge for EV Charger Installation?

A successful charging project requires more than the charger itself.

ACharge supports EV charging projects with solutions covering charger selection, installation, commissioning and ongoing operational support.

Its existing charging infrastructure work in Pakistan includes commercial and high-power DC charging installations, including a recently installed 180kW DC Fast Charger at a Shell location in Lahore.

For businesses considering a new installation, ACharge can help assess:

• Charging requirements
• Site suitability
• Power requirements
• Charger capacity
• Installation requirements
• Future scalability
• Operations and maintenance

This project-led approach helps businesses make infrastructure decisions based on their actual operational requirements.

Building Pakistan’s Next Generation of EV Charging

The 120kW DC Fast Charger installed at BYD Pine Avenue is more than another charging unit. It represents the continued development of the infrastructure required to support EV ownership and commercial electric mobility in Pakistan.

As the market expands, strategically positioned DC charging infrastructure will become increasingly important for dealerships, businesses, fleets and public charging networks.

ACharge is continuing to support this transition by delivering practical EV charging solutions designed around the requirements of each site.

Planning an EV Charger Installation?

Whether you need a DC Fast Charger, commercial charging system or EV charging infrastructure for a dealership or business, the right starting point is a professional site assessment.
