EV in Nepal is gradually growing and the government should make more initiatives in pushing EV awareness to the public. While fuel-based vehicles are convenient, it is time to replace them with a sustainable alternative that is both eco-friendly and cost-efficient i.e. EV. With Hiace’s popularity, do you think that people would ever shift their choice to preferring an EV alternative? Or do Hiaces need to be completely off the market option for that to happen?
