A new age of mobility has accompanied the turn of the last decade and it appears that electric mode of transportation is the inescapable future. Nepal has also hopped onto the bandwagon in lieu of some significant, optimistic policy changes regarding EVs. This has led to a general sanguinity towards an electric future.

Naturally, people have been discussing the prospects of electric vehicles in the context of Nepal. Nevertheless, all discussions barely scratch the surface of this complex subject matter. With this issue, we want to do a little more than that. There are a lot of questions that people have about purchasing, owning, charging, and maintaining electric vehicles which we will be answering here… at least to some extent.

In this issue, we delve into several aspects of electric vehicles in Nepal. You will find a detailed analysis of purchasing an electric vehicle on a budget, the practicality of electric vehicles in Nepal, charging electric vehicles at home and battery degradation, a massive piece on understanding EVs, and the latest on upcoming EVs in Nepal.

Having said that, there is an underlying motif to this issue, apart from disseminating information. We strongly believe that electric vehicles can play a significant role in steering the planet to a greater, greener future. However, in order to head in the right direction, we should be well informed and involved in as many discussions as possible. Nepal is a uniquely wired country and it is important to contextualize information from different aspects.

We hope this electric issue sparks curiosity about the automotive future.

Cheers.
