But we need to import oil and gas to power the generating plants. Despite all the advancements electric vehicles have to been proven to be economical, than conventional vehicles.

Developing good public transport system is better than importing thousand vehicles which will add to traffic congestion

Another stupid green decision! Get your foreign exchange problem sorted out first President before introducing impractical ideas in Sri Lanka. You have no infrastructure established and implemented that could cope with all the massive electricity demands from a vast amount of electrical cars. People even do not get power to light a small bulb in their homes. Another gon idea without advance forward planning. Duh!
