Cheaper Batteries, Cheaper EVs – A Turning Point for Nepal’s Green Mobility
The global EV market just received a powerful boost. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), lithium-ion battery prices dropped by 20% in 2024, marking the largest annual decline since 2017. For a developing EV market like Nepal, this news brings enormous opportunity.
EVs are becoming significantly more affordable as battery prices-historically the most expensive EV component-plunge. This opens the door for broader EV adoption across Nepal’s cities, highways, and rural areas.
What’s Driving the Drop in Battery Prices?
- China’s dominance in global battery production (80% of total output)
- Technological innovation and increased efficiency
- Lithium prices dropped nearly 20%, despite record-high global demand
- Wider use and performance gains in LFP (lithium iron phosphate) batteries
These developments are creating cheaper, safer, and more reliable EV batteries, ideal for mass-market adoption in countries like Nepal.
What This Means for Nepal?
Nepal is actively transitioning towards electric mobility, supported by:
- Import tax exemptions on EVs
- Lower registration costs
- Growing awareness of climate and air quality issues
- Urban and highway infrastructure projects encouraging EV use
With battery prices falling, EVs are becoming more accessible for everyday users, public transportation operators, and commercial fleets alike. This is a major milestone for Nepal’s goal of sustainable transportation.
