Why Nepal needs an EV revolution

Implementing affordable and replicable emission-reduction solutions is no longer optional.

A revolution is unfolding across Nepal, this time through Electric Vehicles (EVs) in the automobile sector. In recent years, new EV models have taken the centre stage in Kathmandu’s auto shows. Using EVs has become a new trend in the country. When I see Nepalis using electric-powered buses, vans and three-wheelers in rural villages and cities outside Kathmandu, I feel the absorption is now at a new level.
