EV wave in Nepal: Young Entrepreneurs Say – ‘This is just an Evolution, not a Revolution’ (video)

Summary

Nepal's electric vehicle sector is evolving with young entrepreneurs highlighting challenges like unstable policies, limited infrastructure, and reduced consumer trust slowing its growth despite promising potential.

Key Points
  • Electric vehicle (EV) adoption in Nepal is progressing as an evolution rather than a rapid revolution.
  • Young entrepreneurs cite unstable government policies and inadequate charging infrastructure as major hurdles for EV growth.
  • Lack of consumer trust, awareness, and technical expertise limits market expansion, especially for electric two-wheelers.
  • Battery recycling, auto loan complications for two-wheelers, and a weak resale market further slow the EV sector in Nepal.
