Nepal is witnessing a surge in electric vehicle (EV) adoption with over 70% of imported passenger vehicles being electric as of last year. This represents a significant shift from only about 250 EVs imported in 2020-21. The government's ambitious targets aim for 90% of private vehicle sales and 60% of public passenger vehicle sales to be electric by 2030. This transition is crucial for addressing Kathmandu's severe air pollution, which contributes to high mortality rates and significantly impacts residents' life expectancy.
