The Government of Sri Lanka, in the past, has been exploring opportunities for shifting from fossil fuel-based transport towards an energy-based transport system. Various initiatives such as policies and strategies have been formulated along with studies/ researches to determine the feasibility to initiate electric mobility in Sri Lanka. The Ministry of Transport & Civil Aviation, Government of Sri Lanka, in line with these developments, has sought assistance from the Asia LEDS partnership in developing the framework for Electric Mobility Policy.
The framework for Electric Mobility Policy has been prepared based on the availability of secondary information, one-to-one discussions/ meetings with the government officials, responses from the consultation meetings held on 27th August and 11th October 2019. It is envisaged that this framework acts as a guiding document for the Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation to promote electric mobility in Sri Lanka.
