Does anyone here have any idea about the currently operational ev chargers on GT road from lahore to jhelum

[ifadey]

There's one at Hardees near Gujrat

Another one in Gujranwala, but this is 22 kW AC charger. It will charge BYD vehicles @ 7 kW only.

Can you share the location on maps so I could add it in my list?

BYD Atto 3 in Naran

[pwuser167550015690]

What was the plan for coming back? Level 1 charging? Or is there some charger there now?

[ifadey]

I will let you know more details on this once the owner is back. He went from Mansehra with full charge. He said he easily reached Naran with 40% or 60% battery left (can't remember now). Right now he has crossed Batakundi. I am not sure how far he's planning to go. The return journey won't consume any energy due to regen on downhills. In fact, it will increase the SoC.

Didn't even think about that. Though it would be kind of risky because you're not always going downhill.

Was just about to post this. I wonder if anyone knows the owner.

Was he carrying the charger along , problems they faced etc.

[ifadey]

One owner frequently travel from Islamabad to Nathyagali in single charge. Return journey slightly increase the SoC or in worst case negligible energy is consumed. Easily doable. I am also planning to go after monsoon season ends.

BTW the owner who went to Naran (actually Batakundi) is back in Mansehra and he still have 40% charge left.

[ifadey]

Yes I know the onwer. His home is in Mansehra but works in Islamabad. He frequently travels back n forth between Islamabad-Mansehra.

He previously travelled to Shogran with family. Today he did a test run just to check how far he can go. The car was not loaded with luggage. He went with his friend.

He has a hotel in Balakot where he's installing 7 kW charger for customers who plan to stay at his hotel. He is in talks with multiple hotel owners in Naran. InshAllah we will have charging options in Naran next year. Thanks to.his efforts.

Mansehra to batakundi is 272km round trip.
Seems like a very good figure with 40% charge left . Braking and slow driving probably helped.

[ifadey]

Sorry, I just rechecked, the remaining SoC is 29%. The total distance covered is 284.8 km according to the trip meter.

[mgalaxy3]

That means ideally it would have given 411km till 0% charge depletion based on that figure.

more realistic 370-380km.

[ifadey]

Few important points to note here.

• The weather was cold, hence AC was not used.
• Only 2 adults were traveling.

The range numbers could change if AC is used and the vehicle is fully loaded with passengers and luggage.

[mgalaxy3]

So with luggage, passengers and some AC use, 320km is realistic in Naran/kaghan route?

[ifadey]

I think it should do close to that. We will know more once that owner goes again with family. He did a test run with a friend just to see how far he can go starting from Mansehra.
According to him, if he do a full charge from Balakot, he can reach babusar top. He plans to do a 2nd test run once he installs a charger in his hotel in Balakot.
