Growing use of EVs: Good for economy and environment
The use of electric vehicles (EVs) has, of late, been gradually rising in Nepal thanks to the customs subsidies on the import of EVs, improvement in electricity supply and ever-soaring prices of petroleum products. Because of their low operating and maintenance costs and environment-friendly nature, EVs have become the choice of the customers for the past few years. It is evident from the import of 6,100 four-wheeler electric vehicles in the last three years. According to the statistics of the Department of Customs, in the fiscal year 2020/21, a total of 249 four-wheel electric vehicles (cars, jeeps) were imported while 1,800 four-wheeler electric vehicles (car, jeep) were imported in the fiscal year 2021/22 and 4,050 in the fiscal year 2022/23.
