Addressing the inauguration ceremony as the chief guest, Senior Secretary Habibur said, "There was no charging station outside Dhaka to charge electric vehicles. The station has been launched on a pilot basis… In the future, maybe thousands of charging stations like petrol pumps will be opened by private enterprises all over the country.
"Bangladesh will enter a new era. Currently, the number of electric charging vehicles is very low. An hourly charging fee will be fixed so that entrepreneurs in this sector do not incur losses."
Mulytic's Chief Executive Officer Rubaiyat Islam Sadat said the opening of the EV charging station has opened up new possibilities.
"The expansion of electric vehicles will reduce carbon emissions and pollution, which will play a very important role in saving the environment."
