1.3 POWER SHORTAGE PROBLEMS IN BANGLADESH<br />

Bangladesh is facing electricity shortage problem for many years and this problem in increased<br />

in last few years and exceeded the general people’s patient. Geographically Bangladesh is<br />

located in tropical region so that except few month <strong>of</strong> the year, most <strong>of</strong> the part <strong>of</strong> the year is<br />

summer and it is a sunny day in morning. The temperature is rises up to 40 degree Celsius and it<br />

is unbearable to stay without electricity. Electricity is one <strong>of</strong> the major demands in all aspects <strong>of</strong><br />

our life though we cannot ensure 24 hours electricity supply. Almost <strong>of</strong> the whole year we are<br />

facing load shedding problem and it is unbearable in summer. Power Development Board (PDB)<br />

sources informed that the <strong>of</strong>ficially estimated power demand is now 5000MW against a<br />

generation <strong>of</strong> around 3500 MW.<br />

So in this type <strong>of</strong> circumstances it is not that much an effective idea to introduce electric vehicle<br />

in Bangladesh.<br />
