KATHMANDU, Aug 4: Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Transport Prakash Jwala has asked the entrepreneurs to shift their choice for electric vehicles (EVs).
During a meeting with the taxi entrepreneurs on Thursday, the Minister asked them for beginning the EVs instead of the fossil fuel-driven vehicles, which he said is the need of the hour.
Import of electric vehicles increased by 600 percent last year
Minister Jwala also asked the entrepreneurs to get ready for EVs since the government is working to draft new laws promoting EVs. Saying that the embossed number plate should be in Nepali Devanagiri, Minister Jwala said that the entrepreneurs are required to start their journey to that track.
On the occasion, Jwala urged the taxi entrepreneurs to go online and use uniform for their clear identification.
