KARACHI: MG Pakistan has announced a significant upgrade to its Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HS PHEV) by introducing a 7KW fast charger as standard equipment, replacing the previously included portable charger.
This enhancement aims to address customer feedback and improve the ownership experience of the company’s hybrid SUV.
The upgrade comes after the successful launch of the MG HS PHEV in Pakistan last October, with local production beginning in January 2025. Since then, over 500 units have been delivered to customers who have praised the vehicle’s design, performance, and environmental benefits.
However, some owners expressed concerns about the extended charging time of up to 8.5 hours required with the standard portable charger. The newly introduced 7KW fast charger will reduce charging time by approximately half, offering greater convenience for daily commuters.
“We are committed to transforming the Pakistan Automotive landscape by offering the latest technology and services,” said Syed Asif Ahmed, General Manager of Marketing Division at MG Pakistan. “By upgrading to a faster charging solution, we’re not just addressing customer concerns — we’re enhancing the overall ownership experience and reinforcing our leadership in the new energy vehicle segment.”
The new fast charger, valued at PKR 235,000, will be provided at no additional cost to customers, replacing the previously included portable charger. The portable version will remain available for purchase as an accessory item.
