We were just talking about tariff rates in the office and discussing developing tariff slabs based on demand. island energy We plan on reaching out to Sri Lanka for information and also perhaps Nepal to see how they handle EV charging tariffs. I could not have thought about cross border collaboration before.” And what of the next generation of engineers?
