Why every EV owners in Nepal needs EI Charge ?

As electric vehicle (EV) adoption continues to rise across Nepal, one critical gap remains — the lack of a centralized, accessible charging network. Until now, EV owners have had to rely on scattered, uncoordinated charging stations with no unified platform. EI Charge is here to change that.


The Problem: A Fragmented EV Charging Landscape

While EVs are becoming more common on Nepal’s roads, the charging infrastructure has not kept pace. Key challenges faced by EV owners include:

  1. Difficulty locating nearby, available chargers
  2. No standardized system for charging rates or availability
  3. Limited or manual payment options
  4. Inconsistent user experiences across different stations

This fragmented system has led to frustration and has slowed down the adoption of EVs in the country.


The Solution: EI Charge — Nepal’s Unified EV Charging Platform

EI Charge is building Nepal’s first centralized EV charging platform that brings together a network of public and private chargers into a single app. The goal is simple: make charging your EV as easy as refueling a traditional vehicle.

With EI Charge, users can:

  1. Find and navigate to the nearest available charging station
  2. View detailed station information including charger type, speed, and availability
  3. Start and monitor charging sessions through the app
  4. Avoid waiting times by seeing live charger status

Integrated Digital Payments for Nepal

One of EI Charge’s biggest advantages is its seamless integration with local payment gateways. The app supports:

  1. Khalti
  2. Connect IPS
  3. Mobile banking from all major Nepali banks


This ensures that users can pay quickly and securely without the need for cash or international cards. Whether you’re charging at a public hub or a private charger, the entire experience stays digital and hassle-free.


Building a National Charging Network

EI Charge isn’t just for EV drivers. It also empowers individuals, businesses, and property owners to list their own chargers on the platform. This creates a growing ecosystem where:

  1. Charger owners can earn income from unused infrastructure
  2. Drivers gain access to a wider network of stations
  3. The country moves closer to a connected and sustainable transportation system

By uniting charger availability into one app, EI Charge is helping build a national EV network that is smart, scalable, and efficient.


Why This Matters for Nepal

Nepal has made strong commitments to clean energy and sustainable transport, but lack of infrastructure remains a roadblock. EI Charge addresses key pain points for both users and providers:

  1. Convenience and accessibility for EV drivers
  2. Transparent and flexible payment solutions
  3. A reliable platform for businesses and government to expand EV infrastructure


EI Charge represents a major step forward for Nepal’s EV ecosystem. By centralizing the charging experience and integrating localized payment systems, it provides the foundation for future growth in electric mobility.

Whether you're an EV owner or a business looking to contribute to sustainable transport, EI Charge is the platform that brings it all together.
