EV Reviews

Arcfox T1 review

A roomy crossover with a big boot and a larger battery than most entry-level EVs, held back by a modest motor, four airbags and a brand still building its service network.

XPENG G6 review

A roomy, well-equipped coupe-SUV that charges faster than nearly anything else in Nepal, held back by average range, a firm low-speed ride and touchscreen-heavy controls.

Kaiyi e-Qute 04 review

A well-equipped city car that is easy to park and very cheap to run, held back by a weak motor, two airbags and a service network that barely leaves Kathmandu.

Leapmotor B10 review

A roomy, comfortable family SUV that covers around 400 km between charges in real Nepali driving, held back by touchscreen-heavy controls, pushy driver aids and a small service network.

Jaecoo J5 review

A distinctive, generously equipped compact SUV with 130 kW charging on both trims, held back by touchscreen-only climate controls and front tyres that spin easily on loose climbs.

Leapmotor B03X review

A roomy, well-equipped compact crossover with a big battery and quick charging, held back by numb steering, touchscreen-heavy controls and a thin service network outside the valley.

Deepal Nevo Q05 review

A roomy, well-finished compact electric SUV with the highest charging peak in its class, held back by vague steering, no curtain airbags on the Max and no crash rating yet.

Chery iCAUR review

A characterful, high-clearance EV with a big LFP battery and five-star safety, held back by a small boot and range that trails its rivals.

BYD Dolphin review

A roomy, very safe electric hatchback with a soft ride, excellent efficiency and strong BYD support, held back by a modest 70 kW motor, middling real-world range and charging that trails newer rivals.

Proton e.MAS 5 review

The e.MAS 5 Premium is a comfortable, well-equipped small EV with unusually good storage, held back by modest range, no brand-run charging and a much weaker base Prime.

Tata Nexon EV review

Loaded with equipment and backed by 5 star safety and Nepal's widest service network, the Nexon EV is held back by a tight rear seat and patchy software.

Kia Syros EV review

A roomy electric SUV with one of the longest real-world ranges and quickest-charging batteries at its price, let down by a Nepali HTK trim that skips the reversing camera and cruise control.

BYD Atto 3 review

A roomy, quiet and heavily equipped family SUV backed by one of Nepal's widest EV service networks, now outpaced on range, charging speed and value by newer rivals.

Dongfeng Nammi Box review

A roomy, generously equipped small EV with a long-range option, held back by a weak motor for Nepal's hills and a poor crash-test record.

Hyundai Creta EV review

A quiet, comfortable and well-built electric SUV with superb regen and one of Nepal's widest service networks, held back by a small 42 kWh battery and a single trim with no driver assists.

Deepal S05 review

A striking, roomy and well-finished electric SUV with one of the longer real-world ranges in its class, held back by modest pace, screen-heavy controls and a thinly equipped Plus.

MG S5 review

A spacious, safe and well-finished family EV with tidy rear-drive handling, held back by average clearance, a firm low-speed ride and chargers that cannot match its speed.

Dongfeng Nammi Vigo review

A roomy, generously equipped electric SUV with a real-world range close to its rating, let down mainly by vague steering and an unproven brand.

Tata Tiago EV review

The refreshed Tiago EV is a comfortable, well-equipped and very cheap-to-run city car, held back mainly by its 200 km real-world range.

BYD Atto 1 review

A roomy, remarkably efficient and well-equipped city EV that makes a lot of sense in Nepal, held back by a modest motor, slow DC charging and no active safety assists.

Tata Punch EV review

The refreshed Punch EV adds range and keeps its 5 star safety and Nepal-proof ride, but its cheap-feeling, cramped cabin and patchy reliability hold it back.

BYD Atto 2 review

A spacious, well-equipped small electric SUV that leads its class on value, held back mainly by an average boot, slow Nepali fast chargers and no crash-test rating yet.
