Time Of Use Tariff
This is ccurrently availble to apply 3-phase, 30 A or above power supply from both LECO & CEB
According to TOU tariff, there are three separate time blocks namely as below
| Time of use | Energy charge (LKR/kWh) | Fixed charge (LKR/month) |
| Off Peak (2230-0530 hrs) | 13.00 | 540.00 |
| Day (0530-1830 hrs) | 25.00 | |
| Peak (1830-2230 hrs) | 54.00 |
Don't worry if you have single phase connection now. you still can get this 3 phase connection can allocate one phase for Car and other to for house with small modification in your distribution board.

PROs |
CONs |
| Lower emissions than most gasoline cars. | Gasoline only. Can't plug in. |
| Somewhat better gasoline mileage than regular gas cars. | Still dependent on oil companies and foreign despots. |
| Longer range than pure battery electric cars (though the same range as plug-in hybrids). | Not zero emissions. |
| Most produce no emissions when car is stopped. | Still require normal mechanical maintenance & repairs. |
You charge them back up. When electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) are commonplace, charging stations will be everywhere. Restaurants, grocery stores and other retail establishments will offer free or low-cost charging as enticements to get customers. Of course, anyone with access to a plug at home will set the car's timer to charge late at night, when cheap surplus power is readily available. Studies indicate that 80% of people have ready access to plugs where they park at night. PHEVs will not need to be charged since their internal combustion engine allows the same range as gasoline cars for long trips. However, to minimize pollution, cost, and the other ills associated with the use of oil, PHEV drivers would do well to plug in whenever possible to maximize the use of the electric grid.
Battery electric vehicles are the most dependable vehicles. Well-made production EVs have the potential to last as long or longer than gasoline automobiles, with less regular maintenance. There are many fewer moving parts in an EV, and therefore less ongoing preventative maintenance. Brake life is significantly extended since the motor is used to slow the car, recapturing the kinetic energy and storing it back in the battery. Electric motors will outlast the body of the vehicle.
Yes. The cleaner the power, the cleaner the car. Using solar photovolteics (PV) or wind power at your home or business makes even more sense with a plug-in car. The investment in solar panels pays off faster when the solar power is not only replacing grid electricity but replacing much more expensive gasoline. EVs typically can travel 3-4 miles (or more) per kWh of electricity. If you drive 12,000 miles per year, you will need 3,000-4,000 kWh. Depending on where you live, you will need a 1.5kW-3kW PV system to generate that much power using about 150-300 square feet of space on your roof. Utility credits for the daytime solar power can offset the cost of charging the car at night. If solar PV isn't feasible at your home, find out if your utility offers a green energy option.
A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) is like a conventional hybrid, but with two important differences: larger battery capacity, and the ability to plug in to the electrical grid to recharge the batteries instead of being dependent on gasoline.
Instead of a battery with a capacity of less than 2 kWh of power like the gasoline-dependent Toyota Prius hybrid (which allows perhaps a mile or two of electric driving), the plug-in Prius slated to go on sale in late 2011 will have a larger battery enabling approximately 13 miles of electric driving. The Chevy Volt has 16 kWh of battery capacity on board, 8 kWh of which is available at any one time, enabling the car to drive like a fully electric vehicle for up to 40 miles before the gas engine turns on.

Good morning! Does anyone know of a Fast charger close to Batapola, Ambalangoda? I'm travelling from Colombo. Both on either side of Welipenna Highway rest-stop not operational....just checked.
