Check the EV resale value in Nepal of the MG ZS EV, BYD Atto 3, Tata Nexon EV, BYD Dolphin and more before you buy a used EV or sell yours, or before you pick a new electric car.

How we calculate: used asking price compared with the new price on the day it was listed.
Why?
Asking prices come from EV News Nepal used-EV listings (Hamrobazar, MeroMoto, EV-Nepal). After the mid-July 2026 EV tax change some new prices went up and some came down, so a used car is never compared with a new price that did not exist when it was listed. For 90 of 555 listings, the new price has changed since.

New prices changed after the 2026 tax change. See which cars

EV Depreciation Rankings in Nepal

What this means?
How much of the new price each model has lost at the age you pick. Lower is better for the seller, higher means a cheaper used car for the buyer. ★ = the number comes from real listings at that age (the rest is estimated from the model's own trend). Tap a car to see its used listings.

The data from our video: 376 used cars

A fixed snapshot taken on 27 Oct 2026, from used EVs advertised between Sep 2024 and Oct 2026. These numbers do not change.

Please read this before comparing any car

These numbers do not say one car or brand is better than another. Some cars here are in perfect condition, and some are priced low because they have a problem. Two cars of the same model and age can have very different prices.

कुनै गाडीमा problem आएर सस्तोमा बेचिएका हुन्छन्, कुनै perfect condition मा हुन्छन्। त्यसैले मूल्य फरक पर्न सक्छ।

  • Condition: accident history, repairs, body and tyres, and how well the car was kept.
  • Battery and range: some cars still give good range and some do not. Our data has no battery test for these cars.
  • Use: kilometres driven, and whether the car was used privately or commercially.
  • Seller: an urgent sale can be priced low, and a hopeful seller can ask too much.
  • Price type: these are asking prices, not final sale prices. The real price after bargaining may be lower.
  • Small samples: a figure based on a few cars can change a lot when one more car is listed.

Cars with more kilometres are usually older too, so this is not the effect of kilometres alone. 162 used EVs did not state their kilometres and are left out.

Before you buy a used EV

  • Ask for a battery health report from an authorised service centre.
  • Charge it fully and check the real range on a test drive.
  • Check the service history, accident record and any battery or motor repairs.
  • Check how much battery warranty is left and whether it passes to you.
  • Confirm the exact variant and battery size, because new prices differ by variant.
How we worked this out, so you can check it

Source: 1,211 used EV ads on our used EV page, mostly from Hamrobazar, plus ev-nepal and Meromoto.

Kept: 388 cars we could match to a catalogue variant with a known model year. We then removed 7 with bad prices (a placeholder price, or asking at or above the new price) and 5 exact reposts (same car, kilometres and price), leaving 376. Scooters are not included.

Formula: drop % = 1 minus (asking price divided by the new price of that variant on the date the used EV was advertised). Age = time from the model year to the date the used EV was advertised. Typical = the median, the middle car, so a few extreme prices do not move it much.

What this cannot tell you: our price history starts in December 2025, so older used EVs use the earliest new price we hold, not what the first owner paid. Older cars may also be an earlier version than the variant they are compared with. Some used EVs were matched to a variant from the ad title, so a few variants may be wrong. Using the original purchase price or final sale prices would give different results.

Why the rest of this page shows different numbers: the rankings and curves on this page update live, count more used EVs and group ages differently. This section is the fixed set used in the video.

What is My EV Worth in Nepal?

5 things to check before you buy or sell
1

Vehicle Age

Age matters most. Most EVs lose 15 to 25% of their value in the first year, then about 8 to 12% each year after that.

2

Battery Health

Above 85% battery health is good. Below 75%, the price should be much lower, and keep money aside for a new battery later.

3

Mileage / Odometer

Kilometres matter less for EVs than for petrol cars, but above 80,000 km the price does drop.

4

Brand & Service Network

Brands with many service centres in Nepal (MG, Tata, BYD) sell for more, because buyers trust them.

5

Today's New Price

Check the new price today. After the 2026 EV tax change some new prices went up and some came down, and used prices follow them.

Key Insights: EV Resale Value in Nepal

What this means?
Value lost per year = how much of its new price a car loses each year, on average, from real listings. Battery health matters most in a used EV: always ask for a battery check (OBD scan) before you pay.

Recent New EV Price Changes

Last 12 months: 55 went up, 18 came down (mostly after the July 2026 tax change).
What this means?
If the new price goes up, a used one of the same model is better value. If it goes down, used prices usually follow. That is why we compare each used price with the new price on the day it was listed.

Frequently Asked Questions, EV Resale Value Nepal

How much does an EV depreciate in Nepal?
On average, a used EV in Nepal loses about 11% of its value each year. By year 3, most EVs have lost 20 to 30% of their value. This changes a lot by brand and model.
Which EV holds its value best in Nepal?
In current used EV listings, the BMW iX3 loses value the slowest, about 1.7% a year. This can change as new listings come in.
Is buying a used EV in Nepal a good idea?
It can be. EVs cost less to run than petrol or diesel vehicles. A 2 to 3 year old EV with a healthy battery often costs 20 to 30% less than new and can still run well for many years. Always check the battery health before you buy.
What factors affect EV resale value in Nepal?
The main things are: age of the vehicle, kilometres driven, battery health, the brand's service network, spare parts, the new price, and how many people want that model. EVs with a wide service network (Tata, MG and BYD) usually keep their value better.
How do I find the best used EV price in Nepal?
Browse used EV listings on EV News Nepal at /used-ev-in-nepal. Each listing shows the asking price, kilometres driven and battery health. Then compare the price with the numbers on this page to see if it is fair.
Did the 2026 EV tax change affect resale value?
Yes, mostly through new prices. After the mid-July 2026 EV tax change, many new EV prices moved. In the last 12 months, 46 car variants got more expensive and 15 got cheaper. When a new price goes up, a used one of the same model can look like a better deal. When it goes down, used prices often have to come down too. To be fair, we compare every used price with the new price on the day it was listed, not today's price. Models whose new price changed since their listings were posted include BYD Atto 3, MG Comet, OMODA E5.
What is the resale value of MG ZS EV in Nepal?
The MG ZS EV is one of the most sold used EVs in Nepal. A 2-year-old MG ZS EV usually sells for about Rs 42.73 lakh (new price today Rs. 52,99,000). That means it has lost about 19% of its value by that age. On average it loses about 10.2% of its value each year.
What is the resale value of BYD Atto 3 in Nepal?
The BYD Atto 3 keeps its value well in Nepal. A 2-year-old Atto 3 sells for about Rs 62.48 lakh (new price today Rs. 78,00,000). That is about 20% less than new at that age. On average it loses about 10.5% of its value each year. Its new price moved from about Rs 66.28 lakh to Rs 72.87 lakh after the 2026 EV tax change, so we compare each used price with the new price on the day it was listed.
Should I buy a new or used EV in Nepal?
It depends on your budget. A used EV like the Tata Nexon EV (save ~Rs 7 lakh vs new at 2 years) or a MG ZS EV (save ~Rs 10 lakh vs new at 2 years) costs much less and can still run well for many years. A new EV costs more but comes with a full warranty.
