Fuel Stations Should Have EV Charging Units

In recent years, electric vehicles (EVs) have become more popular because they are better for the environment. However, there aren’t enough places to charge these vehicles. To solve this, the Senate Standing Committee suggested installing EV charging units at fuel stations. This would make it easier for people to find charging spots and encourage them to buy electric cars.

Concerns About Solar Panels

During a recent meeting, Senator Aon Abbas raised concerns about solar panels. He asked who controls their prices and how the supply is managed. Senator Abbas said that many people are installing solar panels without proper rules. He believes that there should be regulations to make sure the process is fair and balanced.

Support for Local Solar Panel Manufacturing

Senator Abbas also talked about taxes on local solar panels. He believes the government should remove taxes on locally made solar panels. This would help support local businesses and create more jobs in the country. At the same time, the government should focus on taxing imported panels to protect the local industry.

Electric Vehicle Policy and Charging Stations

The committee also discussed the Electric Vehicle Policy. The officials from the Engineering Development Board (EDB) assured everyone that there would be enough EV charging stations in the future. This would make it easier for people to drive electric cars without worrying about where to charge them.

Success of Local Manufacturing

The committee was informed that 93% of mobile phones in the country are now produced locally. This has created over 40,000 jobs in the mobile phone manufacturing industry. This shows that supporting local businesses can help the economy and create job opportunities.

Summary

By installing EV charging stations at fuel outlets and supporting local solar panel manufacturing, we can create a greener, more sustainable future. This would also help the economy and create new jobs for the people.
