EV Nepal Expo 2022 was held from 2nd to 4th December in Bhrikutimandap, Kathmandu. S D Expo Media, the sister concern of S D Promo Media Pvt Ltd was the main organizer while the Indian Exhibition Sevices co-organized the event. Having had organizers from India, the primary target of the expo was to introduce Indian EVs, parts, and batteries to the Nepali audience.
A show of a similar nature gained major success in India. So, bringing it to Nepal focused on finding Nepali distributors for the Indian companies manufacturing EVs, EV batteries, and parts. Aware of the fact that Nepal has no yearly road taxes for EVs, and the country also produces large amounts of hydroelectricity, the organizers were committed to bringing this promotional program to Nepal.
The major attraction of the EV Nepal Expo 2022 were 2-wheeler scooters and bikes, multiple variants of 3-wheelers, and even a minibus. Besides these, the batteries, chargers, and EV parts were also on stalls for promotion.
