Top 10 electric car in Nepal.

Top 10 electric car in Nepal.

 Now a days Electric car is popular among Nepali Society, Because Nepali Government provide less  Tax (30 -35% including all Tax) . In the context of Nepal Petrol/Diesel had more than 260% tax while importing with other country. 
10.Peugeot Partner Tepee - Ev 
I made This car in No 10 because This is not so much popular among Nepali customers . One of the major reason is that they don't make any advertise beside this, this may be the perfect electric car in premium category. specification of this electric car:-
Now the price of this car is Rs. 60,00,000 This is the other reason why this car is not success in Nepali market. This car should launch not more than 50 lakhs. We can get far better  electric car in Nepal in this price segment. 

     This company is very popular for making the electric car in world. This company is very popular in Nepal for both electric and petrol. Every thing in this car is good but this car is not success in Nepali market because Hyundai didn't made any effort to make this car popular. The another issue in this car is mileage. 280 km for full charge is not enough good for this price segment.

8. Mahindra Electric E- Verito D6
   specification of this electric car:-

In past year This car is very popular in Nepal. many people love this car because of the style and good price. However there is only to door it seems unusual to seat in back side of car because there is no door in back. Although this car is perfect in Kathmandu valley. The best part is the battery power the company provide 4 years of warranty but this will go far more than that. This is 7 in my list because this is best on the segment. company closed this product because of door system but you can get second hand in the market.

      I made this list on the base of price, size, model and battery power. However this is only my personal view and my survey with different people .

Engine       Electric motor

Max Output 49 Kw(67hp) @ 4000 to 9200 rpm

Max Torque 200nm @ 0to 1500rpm       

Range    (NEDC Standard) 170 miles

Battery       22.5-kWh two lithium-ion battery packs     

Wheelbase (Inches)   106.02

Length (Inches)          162.87

Width (Inches)          67.87

Height (Inches)          70.70

 Just only 170 km for full charge is the worst part of the car. And this company didn't take any care for the charging station in different part of country not even in Kathmandu Valley. So. this is in the last segment in my list .

9. Hyundai Ioniq Electric

  

Mahindra electric car is very popular in Nepal. When it came with E- Verito D6 There are two parts in this car i.e. good and bad. The good aspect is the looks and comfort but the bad parts is mileage and interiors. it could be a better like mahendra p4 and p6. Mileage of this car is very worst it could be 250 for full charge. If mahendra made charger station in different part of country specially outside valley then this is the best car for medium level costumers. I may prefer the best on this segment if the mileage of this car would be 250 plus.

7. Mahindra Electric E2o Sportz

specification of this electric car

Mileage       120 km for full charge.

6. MG Zs Ev

This is the newest car in Nepal. 110 KW Power and 350 N.m maximum torque and is powered by Lithium Ion Battery that can be charged upto 80% within 30 minutes, 8 year or 150,000 km warranty in battery life. is the awesome part. Why I made this in the list 6 is only the reason that this car is just lunched and we don't know the actual performance in off-road and in city road. beside this it could be the best car in Nepal. The price of this car is Rs 49,99,000. Maximum range of 428 km on single charge is very good but again price is the key factor. In my opinion it could be lunch around 40 lakhs.  MG lunch 3 electric car in Nepal you can see in this link http://mgmotors.com.np/ .

5. KIA SOUL EV

   KIA soul EV  is the south Korean brand so the mechanical parts and features of this car is awesome. The best part of this car is sunroof. This Premium car is just for high class people.Company should focus for the middle class people to get more popular in Nepali market.

Now the key point is that can you purchase this car in rs 58,00,000 ? If you can than this car is far better in this segment. In Kathmandu valley we can see many KIA SOUL Electric car.You can see two variant of car in Nepali market i.e. KIA SOUL EV I,  KIA SOUL EV I I.

The grill is missing in this car as its an electric car it doesn't need grill and air. 17.77cm touch screen infortainment system. There is no gear lever in it only buttons.
