MG streamlines for HS PHEV buyers with wall-mounted 7kw charger
MG Pakistan is stepping up its game in the electric vehicle market with a significant upgrade to its flagship plug-in hybrid SUV, the MG HS PHEV. The company has announced that all new models will now come equipped with a 7kw fast charger, replacing the standard portable charger previously offered.
The move reflects the brand’s commitment to delivering smarter, more efficient urban mobility. Since its launch in Pakistan in October 2024 and the beginning of production in January 2025, the company’s HS PHEV has seen an encouraging response, with over 500 units delivered, said company officials, according to a press release issued on Monday.
They further added that customers have appreciated the vehicle’s design, performance, and eco-friendly drive, but some expressed concerns about the overnight charging time of up to 8.5 hours with the standard portable charger.
Acting upon users’ suggestions, the company has now introduced 7KW fast charger, which will cut the charging time nearly in half, offering greater convenience to drivers with daily commutes and urban routines. “We are committed to transforming Pakistan’s automotive landscape by offering the latest technology and services,” said General Manager Marketing Syed Asif Ahmed.
