The fear of running out of charge, known as range anxiety, remains a significant worry for those considering electric vehicles. With the country's sparse charging infrastructure compounding this concern, numerous potential buyers still hesitate to embrace EVs. Nevertheless, recent advancements in electric vehicle technology have led to a noticeable increase in EV presence on our roads. This progress translates into a burgeoning market offering new EV models with substantially extended ranges compared to those available just a few years ago.

As this list features the highest claimed ranges, its focus is primarily on the premium segment of the EV market in Nepal.
