EV charging in Bangladesh

Charging an electric vehicle? Home charging stays on your residential tariff — and here's the tariff, charger types and approval steps for a public charging station.

⚡chargingEVHome = residential tariff

In short

  • Home charging your own car = residential tariff, nothing extra
  • Public station = SREDA approval first, then a utility connection
  • Up to 80 kW the utility supplies; above that you fund a transformer

The basics

Home charging is the simple case

If you only charge your own car at home, nothing new is required — it runs on your existing residential connection and normal tariff. The guideline calls this a 'private charging station' — for your own use, not open to the public. If you fit a big charger, check your load first; you may need to increase it.

Chargers

Charger types & standards

Public 4-wheeler stations typically use DC fast chargers (CCS or CHAdeMO connectors, 50 kW minimum) and AC chargers (Type-2, 11 kW). Smaller AC chargers serve 2/3-wheelers. Chargers must meet international safety standards including the IEC 61851 series, with at least IP54 for outdoor installs.

Public station

Steps to set up a charging station

1

Apply to SREDA for technical approval (Form-1)

Apply to SREDA with a layout plan, the safety-equipment connection diagram, lab test certificates, and your trade licence.
2

Apply to the distributor for the connection (Form-2)

With SREDA's recommendation, apply to the utility for the electricity connection. Up to 80 kW the utility supplies it; above that you install your own transformer.

Inspection & go live

The utility inspects before energising. Each charge point needs a separate meter, the price shown clearly on a display, and at least two payment methods.
