Bangladesh is shifting towards electric vehicles with government policies reducing taxes on EVs and related components while raising taxes on fossil-fuel vehicles to cut fuel imports and support local manufacturing. However, challenges remain in charging infrastructure, reliable power supply, and high EV costs limiting adoption outside major cities.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Micromobility.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Bangladesh’s market rules now favour electric vehicles over fuel-powered ones, forcing vehicle makers to rethink product lines. You risk losing local market share unless you pivot to EV assembly or e-bikes this quarter.
