With Abundant Hydropower and Tax Cuts, Nepal Surpasses 76% of Electric Cars in 2024 Sales, Impressing the World

The Nepal surprised the world by reaching an important milestone in the energy transition. In 2024, 76% of new cars sold in the country were electric. This rate sharply contrasts with the global average, which is only 20%. The data, released by the New York Times, highlights a silent yet significant phenomenon.

Clean Energy and Tax Incentives Drive Change

The accelerated transformation began after a fuel crisis in 2015. Since then, the country has been heavily investing in renewable energy.

Today, Nepal has a stable and clean electrical grid, primarily based on hydropower.

Chinese Cars Dominate the Market

Another important factor is the entry of Chinese brands. Manufacturers like BYD stand out for offering affordable cars.

The distribution of these vehicles is handled by local dealerships, such as Yamuna Shrestha’s, which plans to sell 4,000 units in 2025.

This movement has also generated new jobs and business opportunities in the automotive sector.

Infrastructure and Public Transport Still Pose Challenges

Despite the progress, Nepal still faces obstacles. The charging infrastructure for electric cars remains limited. Furthermore, national policy suffers from instability.

And, although electric cars are growing, most public transport still relies on fossil fuels.

The state operator Sajha has only 41 electric buses. To adequately serve Kathmandu, at least 800 would be needed.

Even with these limitations, Nepal shows that the combination of clean energy, public policies, and affordable vehicles can accelerate electric mobility.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

For the first time, scientists have mapped the Etna magma system in almost real time and discovered where the volcano was storing large volumes of molten material before years of eruptions, revealing an underground reservoir that fills and reorganizes like a living organism beneath the mountain.

With 1,000 buses sent abroad, the Brazilian manufacturer consolidates the strength of national technology and takes on a leading role in public transportation across all of Latin America.

More than 1,500 Chinese workers transformed an entire railway station in just one night and reduced a 7-hour journey to 90 minutes with a high-speed line of 200 km/h.

Brazilian city becomes a global destination after attracting tourists who travel up to 10,000 km to visit a sanctuary with 11 giant saints up to 10 meters tall, open 24 hours and located along a highway in SP.

JBL Flip Essential 3 SE is launched with 30W of power (20W + 10W), Bluetooth 5.4, Auracast for multiple connections, IP67 water and dust resistance, up to 12 hours of battery life, and a price of approximately R$ 660 in China.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Pernambuco paradise with 59% of preserved area advances with R$ 2 billion in e-methanol, aims for 900 tons/day, grows 38.6% and builds electrified terminal of 400 thousand TEUs.

Brazil may have railways back on the map, but it will need the government: a study reveals 7,412 km ready for reactivation, a cost of R$ 75 billion, 61 sections analyzed, and none viable without public funding.
