Nepal’s Largest EV Charging Station Opens in Kurintar
Nepal’s largest electric vehicle (EV) charging station has officially opened in Kurintar. This new facility is a major step forward in supporting EV users and promoting sustainable transportation in the country.
The station includes six charging points, each equipped with two charging guns. This setup provides a total of 12 charging guns, split equally between GBT and CCS-Type 2 standards. Additionally, the station offers six AC charging ports. These are suitable for charging electric scooters, bikes, and other vehicles that support AC charging.
One of the key advantages of this station is its strategic location. Kurintar is a popular stop for travelers. As a result, it serves as a convenient spot for EV users to top up their batteries. This location helps reduce range anxiety and ensures drivers can reach Kathmandu without worry.
Moreover, the station offers more than just charging services. It includes restrooms and a restaurant, providing a comfortable rest stop for travelers. In this way, it becomes more than a charging point—it’s also a place to relax and refresh during long journeys.

The success of this facility shows the need for more such stations across the country. Expanding the network will make EVs more practical for daily use. In conclusion, the Kurintar station marks a milestone in Nepal’s move toward sustainable transport. With more stations like this, electric mobility in Nepal has a bright future.
