EV Van vs Petrol Van Cost : Why Electric Wins in Nepal

The Cost Question Every Buyer Asks

With fuel prices climbing and sustainability becoming a national priority, Nepali drivers and fleet operators are asking: “Is switching to an electric van really cheaper than sticking with petrol?”

The answer lies in a detailed comparison of EV van vs petrol van cost from purchase price to long-term ownership. Whether you're a school, Logistics Company, or office fleet manager, understanding the economics of electric vans is key to making a smart investment.

Initial Cost Comparison: Electric Van vs Petrol Van cost

At first glance, the electric van price in Nepal may seem higher than petrol alternatives. But government incentives and lower operating costs quickly change the equation.

Vehicle Type	Average Price (NPR)	Notes
Petrol Van	40–50 lakhs	Subject to full import duties and fuel costs
Electric Van	55–65 lakhs	Eligible for customs duty and VAT reductions

Government Incentives:

• Customs duty: Reduced to 10–30% for EVs
• VAT concessions: Available for registered dealers like Triveni MotoCorp
• Road tax exemptions: Existing in select provinces

These benefits significantly reduce the upfront cost of EV vans Nepal, making them competitive with petrol models.

Operating Cost Breakdown: Fuel vs Electricity & Maintenance

Fuel vs Electricity Cost: A petrol van consuming 8 km/liter at NPR 180/liter costs NPR 22.5/km, while an EV van costs just NPR 2–3/km. That’s up to 85% savings on energy costs alone!

EV Maintenance Cost: Electric vans require fewer parts and less frequent servicing and no oil changes, fewer breakdowns, and longer intervals between checkups.

Total Cost of Ownership & ROI

Let’s run a real-world example: Daily Distance: 100 km Monthly Distance: 3,000 km

Vehicle	Monthly Energy Cost	Annual Cost
Petrol Van	NPR 67,500	NPR 810,000
EV Van	NPR 9,000	NPR 108,000

That’s an annual saving of over NPR 700,000 just on energy!

EV vans typically break even in 3–4 years, after which the savings compound. For electric van for office transport, EV staff vans, and school vans for sale, this makes EVs the smarter long-term choice.
