Policy instability is a key hurdle for Nepal in practically all sectors - electric mobility, electricity generation, electricity usage, energy efficiency …….,,,

[UpshiftFi Technical Team @UpshiftsFi]

"Policy instability is a key hurdle for Nepal in promoting the usage of #ElectricVehicles"
In the case of private #EVs, policy stability is required.
But for #ElectricBuses, additional financial incentives & charging infrastructure is required.
