The government is considering scrapping the monthly limit on the quantity of cheaper electricity that electric vehicles (EVs) are allowed to enjoy, in a bid to accelerate the adoption of the technology further

The e-mobility tariff, introduced in April last year, presently limits the use of cheaper electricity for EV battery-charging companies to a maximum of 15,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh) monthly. Once this limit is reached, they are charged power under the normal tariffs.
