Volt Charge Emerges as a Category Leader in Sri Lanka’s EV Charging Infrastructure Landscape
Volt Charge, part of JAT Holdings PLC’s expanding portfolio, has established itself as Sri Lanka’s largest electric vehicle (EV) charging network, marking a significant milestone in the country’s rapidly evolving electric mobility infrastructure sector.
With more than 80 DC fast chargers, 20 public AC chargers, and over 3,000 AC home chargers installed to date, Volt Charge has progressed from an early market entrant to a category leader in Sri Lanka’s EV charging landscape. Its public charging network now extends across more than 100 locations in key districts, improving charging accessibility for EV users in both urban centres and outstation destinations.
For JAT Holdings, this achievement represents a strategic step in the Group’s broader evolution. While the company has established its foundation in coatings, surface solutions, and manufacturing, Volt Charge reflects its expansion into future-oriented sectors where technology, infrastructure, and sustainability converge.
Beyond the scale of its deployment, Volt Charge’s growth highlights the increasing importance of EV infrastructure in Sri Lanka’s transition towards sustainable mobility. The company’s public charging network currently facilitates more than 18,000 charging sessions each month and manages approximately 100 MWh of energy consumption monthly. Meanwhile, the Volt Charge mobile application has surpassed 16,000 users, demonstrating the growing demand for digitally connected charging solutions.
Dr. Beshan Kulapala, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Volt Charge, stated, “EV adoption depends on confidence in the charging ecosystem. Our focus is not only to install chargers, but to build a reliable, connected network that enables EV users to travel across Sri Lanka with greater confidence.”
Volt Charge’s network expansion strategy has focused on maintaining a balance between urban and outstation coverage, with approximately 60% of chargers located in urban areas and 40% positioned across outstation and highway-connected locations. This approach supports both everyday city commuting and long-distance travel as EV ownership continues to expand beyond major cities.
Strategic partnerships have also been instrumental in accelerating Volt Charge’s growth. The company has established charging locations with leading corporates and hospitality brands including Keells Supermarkets, Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts, Dilmah, Jetwing Hotels, and City of Dreams. In addition, Volt Charge has secured a major partnership with John Keells CG Auto, the authorised distributor for BYD in Sri Lanka, receiving orders for 4,000 chargers to support BYD vehicle customers.
Through these collaborations, Volt Charge continues to build a charging ecosystem integrated into locations where people naturally travel, work, shop, and stay, strengthening its position as a key enabler of Sri Lanka’s electric mobility transformation.
