Promoting EVs

Nepalis with electric cars can now install a separate household meter to charge battery vehicles and even opt for a larger capacity meters if the approved load for domestic use is insufficient. NEA is also increasing the load limit for industries, and offering additional meters for tenants on multi-storey apartments, all part of a drive to boost domestic consumption of surplus hydro-electricity from the country’s new plants. NEA has also reduced electricity leakage to 9.10%, down from 11.92% last year. Madhes Province has the highest leakage rates: 43.92% in Sarlahi’s Malangwa distribution centre, 39.90% in Bara’s Simraingadh and 37.61% in Mahottari’s Jaleswor.
