Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

Owner’s own wordsYouTube comment

“The most important thing in EV is space and range, and with Clavis EV you will be paying considerably more for it, albeit more features do set it off.”

  • Buyers in Nepal are closely studying EV tax/import changes since the April‐May 2026 budget adjustments, especially customs duty, CIIF (Clean Infrastructure Investment Fee), VAT and road fees, which directly affect final cost
  • EV imports to Nepal remain popular (especially in the 50-100 kW motor power range), but most discussions reference Chinese brands (BYD, Deepal etc.), and much less discussion on new Korean MPVs like Clavis EV

  • good leg space in middle row
  • breakthrough pricing for 7-seater EV

What they complain about

This bit doesn't carry over

Owners abroad rate this car's resale, warranty and service cost on their own market's terms. None of that applies here — different duty, dealer network and used market. It is shown separately and never counted above.
