In South Asia, the urgent need for affordable mobility has led to a rapid embrace of e-mobility, but often with regrettable technology choices like lead-acid batteries (LABs) used in electric 3-wheelers. This report explores the challenges associated with LABs as well as potential solutions to managing these in Bangladesh.
