## Frequently Asked Questions

How far can an electric van travel on one charge?+
Our AIMO and Golden Dragon vans deliver up to 300 km on a single full charge — more than enough for daily city routes and most intercity trips in Nepal.
How long does charging take?+
A standard AC charge takes 6–8 hours (ideal overnight). DC fast charging can top the battery from 20% to 80% in around 45–60 minutes at our charging stations.
What happens if the battery degrades?+
Every vehicle comes with an 8-year battery warranty guaranteed by CATL. Batteries typically retain over 80% capacity well within the warranty period.
Is servicing readily available in Nepal?+
Yes. We operate service centers nationwide staffed by trained EV technicians, and we stock 100% genuine OEM parts.
Can EVs handle Nepal’s hilly terrain?+
Absolutely. Electric motors deliver instant torque and high ground clearance (up to 190 mm) makes our vans well suited to steep gradients and rough roads.
How much can I save versus a diesel van?+
Fuel and maintenance savings typically reach up to 80% versus an equivalent diesel van, meaning the switch pays back quickly for high-mileage operators.
