හරිම කරදරයක් උනානෙ මේක. Tax ගන්න ඕන. ඒත් මේ වගෙ EV, Solar items වගේ එවට tax ගහන්නෙ නැතුව ඒව motivate කරන්න ඕන.

This is what can happen when a country doesn’t properly solve its energy problems.

Sri Lanka doesn’t even have a ship to collect the free fuel that Iran offered. The country has about 99–101 large fuel storage tanks, with a total capacity of around 1.2 million tonnes of oil. But after the British left in 1957, most of these tanks were not used for over 70 years and became neglected, even covered by jungle.

Instead of buying fuel directly from the Middle East for a cheaper price, Sri Lanka is still buying it through resellers like India.

Sri Lanka should focus on building proper infrastructure to solve its energy crisis. This situation is not Anura’s fault. He was elected recently and cannot fix many years of poor management in just a short time.

Hopefully, Sri Lanka will find a way to solve its energy problems.

I'm gonna defend this decision. I think it's a good decision.

EVs should be charged at home, ideally with time of use billing. Peak time is 6-10PM, which the CEB cannot rely fully on renewable energy.

Charge your fucking EVs at home over night. It's much more convenient and that's how EVs are meant to be used. Do NOT charge them during peak times.

Corporate/govt ffices should also have EV charging facilities in their parking lots.

DC Fast charging should be the last resort, and should be avoided as much as possible.

First , there are considerable amount of people who installed Solar for EV charging. So extra 300 MW due to EV is false. This false was spread to increase rates and also create jealousy or animosity against EV owners . You can see the tone of some comments on this for example.
EV can be charged after 10 pm not during peak for logistical reasons. This is the time most EVs are idle in any country! and charging is done.
My only issue is why Day time charging is not encouraged as most of the day time generation is renewal (solar/hydro). Govt purchase a unit at Rs 19 and can be given with similar markup during peak and if this is done most charging will only be during day and excess solar energy is utilised .

Ever heard of something called batteries ?
If solar powered batteries were cheaper, people would utilise those. But the phucking government wants both rawula and kenda. So they do not reduce taxes on batteries but keeps on taxing EV owners.

Dude I drive an EV here, got rooftop solar with a 10 kWh LiFePo4 battery at my place in Sri Lanka, and have invested a considerable amount on Windforce. So yes, I have heard about batteries.

Where I live, 100% of their trains run on wind power. Sri Lanka ain't so bad, with around 65% of the energy coming from renewable sources. Any step they take, to close this gap, especially during the 6-10PM period is a good step in the long term.

Cost per km driven for EVs is already cheap compared to ICE. If you have rooftop solar, you can charge your car if you want (they can charge even with a 5kW solar yield). You can recharge a 75kWh battery in a couple days, which is practically free energy.

Re: taxes: LiFepo4 cells are charged ~30-40% tax. Getting rid of this tax wouldn't make the batteries magically drastically cheaper.

true. u hv smart charging option. u dont hv to wake up at mid night to charge the car. Just plug it and select time to start charging
