Kathmandu needs more charging stations for EVs including two-wheelers. But, the transition doesn’t look easy

Two weeks ago, I was returning home from work. It was a long day and I thought I had enough charge on my scooter that gives me around 80 kilometres on a full charge . But, I was wrong. I ran out of battery at the Patan Industrial Estate and was left without any option. I did not have a charger, which meant I had to go home with the battery, charge it and then return to the place where I had my scooter. It was a proper waste of time.

It would have been great if the estate have had a charming station. But, it did not, and I had no option but to go home, charge it and come back.
