Comparing to the past few years, the rise in both the production and consumption of electric vehicles in both the national as well as international markets is increasing at a swift pace.
In the year 2015, the number of sales of electric vehicles in the world was around 1 lakh units while in the year 2019, the sales count nearly reached 2 million units which is absolutely mesmerizing. This sudden change in the number signifies the craze of international customers towards electric vehicles.
And speaking of EVs, most of the top nations around the world are also working on making electric vehicles their top priority. EVs are also very efficient for decreasing the consumption of petroleum, fuel as well as very much eco-friendly too. European nations are chiefly found to be increasing the use of electric vehicles. While now, various Asian countries are also found to be following the same trail.
Speaking of Nepal too, the import of electric vehicles is increasing at a great pace recently. This reflects that the demand for EVs in Nepal has also been increasing in the past few years. Analyzing the increasing demand for Electric cars in the world, various renowned car brands are now working on the production of their own electric models.
Here, we have listed five of the major reasons why you should probably switch to Electric vehicles.
Great Mileage and Pricing
The upcoming electric cars will be coming with more than 200km range on a single full charge. Also, the customers won’t have to take the hassle of fueling up their vehicles every time. The upcoming electric cars in Nepal will range from Rs.20 lakhs to Rs. 60 lakhs.
Continuity in Tax Rebate
The government of Nepal has now levied 10 percent excise, VAT, and 4 percent road tax on electric cars which is a lot less than a combustion engine car.
The government of Nepal appears to be continuing this tax exemption. For this, Nepal's investment in the required energy production and the future market of energy are being explored and as long as the government moves forward on this, the exemption will be continued.
Low Maintenance Cost
Compared to other fuel-consuming vehicles, electric vehicles are more cost-friendly. Unlike petrol and diesel cars, electric cars only have around 20 removable parts which make them more budget-friendly for maintenance. While in petrol cars, there is a combustion engine integrated with more than 10 thousand cycle parts.
More on, as electric vehicles don’t require lubricants and have less servicing cost, it is more likely to fit the customer’s budget.
Great Battery Life
Undoubtedly, the best and most alluring part of EVs is their motor and battery life which works beyond our expectations. Most of the top electric car manufacturers provide a warranty of around 8 years on their vehicle’s battery while the companies still claim their EVs’ battery to work with 90% efficiency even at the end of the warranty period.
While with time, the mileage of the electric vehicles also decreases as the battery loses its efficiency with time. However, the electric motors and battery provide great efficiency than expected.
Eco-Friendly
And last but not least is the great role of EVs in environmental balance. The major reason for the manufacture of electric vehicles is to decrease and control pollution globally. Thus, switching on to EVs can be a great step towards making clean and eco-friendly. As there is not any type of carbon emission on electric vehicles, it is best suited for human health.
Well, these are some of the main reasons why one should probably make electric vehicles their top priority. Additionally, the choice of electric vehicles over petrol ones is also more beneficial for both human as well as environmental health and most importantly, we both are interconnected with each other.
