Working under the overall direction of the Ministry of Forests and Environment and in partnership with the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport, the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) launched the Electric Mobility Program in 2017, to support a transition towards clean and sustainable transportation in Nepal. Under the program, which supports the implementation of Nepal’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) by boosting the adoption of electric vehicles in Nepal, this National Action Plan for Electric Mobility was developed.
This National Action Plan for Electric Mobility supports the implementation of Nepal’s NDC targets for the transport sector. It does this by reviewing Nepal’s NDC and related policy (Part 1); exploring the transport sector and most effective policy options for increased adoption of electric vehicles (Part 2); identifying a wide range of barriers and issues that are currently restricting adoption of electric vehicles (Part 3); and outlining key proposed actions and initiatives for overcoming these barriers (Part 4). As well as quantitative analyses, the development of the National Action Plan pursued an intensely participatory process, drawing on numerous interviews and focus group discussions with government bodies, non-government organizations, consumers and the business and research communities.
