flag Sri Lanka urges EV owners to charge during daytime to avoid power shortages.

flag Sri Lanka has asked electric vehicle owners to charge their cars during the day instead of at night to ease a 300-megawatt surge in electricity demand that strains the power grid and increases reliance on coal and diesel. flag President Anura Kumara Dissanayake cited the lack of large-scale battery storage and the growing number of EVs—over 10% of new vehicle imports since lifting a ban in February 2025—as key factors. flag The government is considering tariffs to discourage nighttime charging and has implemented a four-day workweek and reduced public services to conserve energy amid a broader crisis fueled by regional conflicts disrupting fuel supplies.
