Although EVs are often considered to be the most sustainable form of motorized
transportation, they are not necessarily 100% green. Instead, EVs are only as green as
the source of electricity that powers them. Electric vehicles charged using solar power
emit 96% less mass of pollutants than all-electric vehicles using the grid [2]
According to the NDC report, under the Business As Usual (BAU) scenario greenhouse
gas (GHG) emission in Bangladesh from the power, transport and industrial sectors shall
account for “69% of the total emissions by 2030” resulting in 234 MtCO2e (an increase
of 264% with respect to the level in 2011) [3].
Assuming no additional international support Bangladesh will reduce its GHG emissions
in the power, transport, and industry sectors by 12 MtCO2e by 2030 or 5% below BAU
emissions for those sectors. Assuming additional international support Bangladesh will
reduce its GHG emissions in the power, transport, and industry sectors by 36 MtCO 2e by
2030 or 15% below BAU emissions for those sectors [3].

From an economic standpoint, EVs and hybrid vehicles provide cost savings as an incentive over
traditional fossil fuel vehicles. With the dream of economic savings and environment safety, GOB is
seriously considering a transition in the transport sector from conventional fossil fuel driven vehicles to
EV. However, there is insufficient charging infrastructure and no dedicated policy framework.
BRTA is drafting ‘EV vehicle guideline’ and SREDA is working on ‘Charging Station Guideline’.

Relevant policy and regulatory documents that are already serving as basic guideline are
Promote awareness of renewable energy and other clean energy technologies. Support
establishment of small and medium renewable energy enterprises and providers.
Support demonstration of new technologies and new business models for renewable energy and
other clean energy technologies.
Provide fund for the development of standardized renewable energy configurations to meet
common energy and power applications
The ‘Renewable Energy Policy’ of 2008 has laid the foundation of Sustainable and
Renewable Energy Development Authority (SREDA) with a broader aim to increase and
promote the utilization of RE in the local domain [6].
All renewable energy equipment’s and related raw materials in producing renewable
energy equipment’s will be exempted from charging 15% VAT.
An incentive tariff may be considered for electricity generated from renewable energy
sources which may be 10% higher than the highest purchase price of electricity by the
utility from private generators.
The main objective of the policy is to introduce and regulate competition by allowing
private investment in the power sector, and to establish new commercial power plants
and rehabilitate old ones through Public Private Partnership (PPP).
The main features of this policy guidelines can be summed up into the following points
[9]:
Private investors are allowed to build commercial power projects that comply with the existing
regulation. they are allowed to use any fuel including renewable ones and are free to find their
own buyers to sell electricity at a mutually negotiated tariff.
The private investors are to enjoy certain fiscal incentives, such as corporate income tax waiver for
15 years, relaxed customs duties on a certain amount of import for 12 years.
Public Private Partnership (PPP) is allowed for joint venture power plants under certain terms and
conditions.
“PSMP-2016” strictly mandates that 10% of all power should come from RE
According to BAU projection RE generation capacity to be 10% of total by 2041 translating into
nearly 7,950 MW, which is close to 8,000 MW.
By 2041, the renewable is set to cover nearly 31% of total generation capacity in second scenario
translating into 25,000 MW.
Under third scenario, nearly 50% of installed power capacity will be covered by solar PVs, which will
be 40,000 MW.
Any three-phase consumer can be considered eligible for the net metering system.
A consumer can install (capacity of solar PV system) up to 70% of his sanctioned load.
The maximum output AC capacity of the installed RE system for NEM can be up to 10 MW.
Present Scenario:
In Bangladesh, the most prevalent e-mobility solution are the electric two/three
wheelers.
Although the actual stock take of these "Easy Bikes" are yet to be determined, it is
estimated that 1.24 million of these vehicles are on the road which are facilitating
transportation of approximately 250 million people [8].
Currently, around 9000MWh (9,000,000 kWh) energy is used daily from the supply grid
to meet easy bike charging demand[8].
Present Scenario:
The four-wheeler EV market is still virtually non-existent in Bangladesh. Currently, it is
estimated that there are less than 10 passenger EVs in the country, and all of them are
concentrated in the capital city.
Four-Wheeler Hybrid vehicles has gone up over the last few years. In terms of sales, the
figure had been rising sharply up until the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. In 2018, the
hybrid four-wheeler market has registered a 900% increase in sales [11].
Future Scenario:
Bangladesh Auto Industries Limited (BAIL) is setting up the country's first ever electric
car plant in Mirsarai Economic Zone.
They plan to manufacture all sorts of vehicles starting from two/three wheelers, sedan,
hatchback and subsequently SUVs and pickup trucks: with an initial investment of $200
million. The plant will manufacture almost 60% of the components of the vehicles,
including lithium battery, motor, controller, software platform, chassis, and body [13].
Future Scenario:
Nitol Motors is also setting up an EV assembly plant with the brand name "Suvare"[12].
The project with an estimated cost of BDT 3.5 billion, is being set up in Pabna and
Bogura.
India’s automaker Omega Seiki has recently announced an investment of INR 1 billion to
set up EV manufacturing facilities in Bangladesh.
(BRTC) has already taken the initiative to introduce 50 electric buses that will run in long
routes like Dhaka-Chottogram. In the updated NDC, Bangladesh committed to establish
charging station network and introduce electric buses in major cities [14].
The Automobile Industry Development Policy 2021, projects that at least 15% of
registered vehicles will be powered by environment-friendly electricity in 2030[15].
The UNDP, offering $1.78 crore support to enhance policy institutional framework for EVs
and EV charging stations and tailored capacity building [15].
Future Scenario:
However, there are some ongoing solar charging station projects at different stage of
development. These charging stations are being installed by REB. They are about to
install seven more solar charging stations.
These stations will be located at Gopalganj PBS, Natore PBS-1, Comilla PBS-2, Khulna
PBS, Sylhet PBS, Rajshahi PBS and Coxbazar PBS.
Among these seven stations two are under construction, tending is in process for
one, and administrative process is in progress for four of them. The cumulative
output of these seven stations is estimated to be 147 kWp or even higher [10].
Table 3: Currently Operational Solar Charging Stations with their target and achievement .
Bangladesh is yet to formulate policies and regulations to address various aspects of the solar energy
sector development; a standalone dedicated policy for solar electric vehicle charging station is very
urgent. Solar Electric Vehicle Charging Station demands a dedicated policy and regulatory framework.
Regulated Tariff/Incentive
According to “Renewable Energy Policy-2008”, private investors are free to find their own buyers to sell
electricity at a mutually negotiated tariff. There is no mention of a preset or regulated tariff.
At present, an independent solar PV project developer needs to organize more than 30 permits and
acquiring such permits is quite a challenging task in Bangladesh. Therefore, such challenges and
obstacles need to be converted into transparent and quantifiable cost components
Non-Licensed Vehicle
There are no rules for registering EV in BRTA. But there should be a legal framework for promoting
sustainable environment through energy efficient method of EV use. The rules and regulations for EV
licensing should be designed by technical and some other means as like motorized vehicle.
Each solar appliance has a labelled lifetime. After that lifetime, the appliances need to be
disposed in proper ways. Currently there is no regulation for PV waste disposal.
Technological Feasibility
Our suggestion is to set up a dedicated agency for solar charging station industry under
SREDA, that will speed up the establishment of solar charging stations and related
activities. This agency shall be responsible for:
Financial models:
This organization will be responsible for estimating the total cost of the project and then
formulating a recovery model to ensure the sustainability of the solar charging stations . It shall
also be allowed to put in its own equity, raise loans, create small corpus for working capital and
invest in the operation and maintenance of the charging stations, activities related to marketing
and publicity
The envisioned target must be met by merging the effort of both public and private sector.
Since the solar market is still in the developing phase in Bangladesh, the private investors
understandably foresee higher risks to invest into such projects. In addition to existing
benefits, Other financial incentives, such as introducing innovative business models, lowering
interest rate, regulated NEM tariff/green certificates for small to medium scale investors,
provision for capacity payments, etc. can be considered for creating a safe financial
environment in the long run.
Multiple international donor institutions can be approached for funding, including the
UNFCCC's Green Climate Fund, the Global Environmental Facility (GEF), and the World Bank's
Climate Investment Fund.
Although present policy suggesting that the income tax to be waived for 12 years, our
recommendation is to extend this period to the payback period of the project.
Solar-powered charging stations with net metering can be prioritized to achieve net zero
scenario.
At present only three phase consumers are eligible for net metering. Our recommendation
is Solar Charging stations are to be included in NEM policy
Bangladesh Energy Regulatory Commission (BERC) has introduced a new tariff category
for charging stations, setting energy charge of 7.70 Tk./KWh along with an additional
demand charge of 40 Tk./KW/month. However, to promote the adoption of solar EVCS,
the tariff is recommended to be lower since solar charging stations are only going to use
them in case of bad weather or storage system maintenance scenario.
Our recommendation is to follow the “PSMP-2016” strictly which mandates that 10% of
all power should come from RE. Adhering to that fact 10% of all the charging stations
should be solar EV charging stations.
To compete with the AC EV charging stations, the solar EVCSs are needed to be
equipped properly so that they may not fall behind the race.
Each solar appliance has a labelled lifetime. After that lifetime, the appliances need to
be disposed in proper ways, i.e., in ways that will be safe for the environment. Reduce,
Reuse, Recycle or, in short, the 3Rs can be handled in a better way if the processes are
made technically and financially viable.
The average lifetime of solar module is around 20-−30 years, and of inverters is around
10−15 years. Charge controllers, batteries and related appliances have similar a lifetime.
An exit plan for those solar products needs to be under planning before the lifetime
ends. This can avoid environmental pollution.
