These sources collectively highlight Nepal's aggressive transition to electric vehicles (EVs), driven by environmental goals and the nation's ample hydropower resources, which reduce reliance on expensive fuel imports. Despite government policy shifts, including fluctuating import duties and tightened loan access, EV adoption continues to surge, with thousands of units imported, predominantly from China and India. While the expanding charging infrastructure is noted as crucial, challenges such as limited charging stations, financial sustainability for private charging businesses due to profit margin caps, and concerns about becoming an "EV dumping ground" without clear standards persist. Consumers are increasingly drawn to EVs for their lower operating costs, reduced maintenance needs, and environmental benefits, although some still express concerns about battery degradation and range anxiety, especially given Nepal's challenging road conditions.
