EV car prices after Nepal's 2026 budget: the FY 2026/27 budget changed how electric vehicles are taxed, moving from the old motor-power (kW) slab system to one based on the vehicle's CIF (import) value. Electric cars with a CIF value under Rs. 20 lakh now carry roughly a 28.5% total tax burden (20% customs duty, a 2.5% Clean Infrastructure Investment Tax, a 2.5% road development fee and 13% VAT), so budget EVs stay affordable. Models above Rs. 50 lakh face steeper levies (up to around 130%) and a higher 5% road fee, so mid-range and premium electric cars get more expensive. Read the full breakdown in Nepal's EV tax changes explained.
