Electric Vehicles in Nepal Transforming Transportation or Creating Regulatory Challenges
EV conversion in Nepal faces regulatory and systems engineering challenges, not just mechanical ones, requiring comprehensive redesign of vehicles. Current lack of certification systems, testing protocols, and enforcement mechanisms risks unsafe informal workshops and inconsistent engineering practices. EV conversion is economically viable mainly for high-mileage commercial fleets, three-wheelers, delivery vehicles, and select ride-hailing segments rather than private passenger vehicles. Nepal's automotive workforce lacks EV-specific skills like high-voltage diagnostics and battery safety, highlighting the need for structured technician certification pathways. Successful EV conversion requires strong governance and regulatory discipline to ensure safety and standardization before scaling the market.
