Every line below says which it is. A quote is somebody's own words on the platform named. A summary is ours, drawn from published coverage — and never put inside quote marks.
“तर अलिक दाम महँगो भो हामी जस्ता नागरिक लै चै गारो भो 😁😁😁”
“यो त फिचर्स हरु मात्र भयो गाडी को टेक्निकल कुर हरु को बारेमा पनि भन्नू परेयो”
“This is the best car than any other petrol or diesel car, lots of features that we can find in other luxurious car, but these features we can’t find even in expensive landcruiser prado”
“सरकार ले कर छुट दिनु पर्छ ev car लाई प्रोत्साहन गर्नु पर्छ ।”
“Only rich people can afford 50-60-lakh car.”
Paraphrase: ‘At around 70 lakh, Niro EV is expensive but the 460 km range and Kia brand make it attractive for people who travel outside the valley.’

Where this evidence came from
Real published text, but nobody said it in the first person — so it is never shown as a quote.
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.
