KATHMANDU, June 21 (Xinhua) — Nepal imported a record number of four-wheeler electric vehicles in the first 11 months of the current fiscal year 2024-25, the country’s Customs Department said on Friday.

As of mid-June, the total number of imported electric vehicles was 13,483, of which 10,194 (almost 76 percent) came from China, the agency said.

By comparison, the country imported a total of 11,701 electric vehicles in the 2023-24 fiscal year.

Nepal has been actively promoting the use of electric vehicles in recent years, as the country produces surplus hydropower, especially during the monsoon season. By 2030, the government plans to increase the share of electric vehicles in private passenger transport sales to 90 percent and public passenger transport sales to 70 percent, including two-wheelers. –0–
