    I hope govt will give subsidy for batteries for these electric cars. Presently most of the buyers who purchased electric cars are in a mess due to very high cost of replacement charges for batteries due to high duty.

    Encourage a local business to create an electric car. VEGA already does this and we can save Rs 300 billion each year which we waste for petrol. We can build two ports like Hambantota port each year from that money.
