The short answer

Chery Q EV costs रु 5,16,000 less ex-showroom. Q EV has 27.2 PS more power.

Choose the BYD Dolphin if
You prefer its body style, brand or dealer near you — the numbers are close.

This is the safest all-round Dolphin trim for most Nepal buyers because it keeps the core battery, range and motor while adding the better daily-use equipment. It is worth the price if you want a genuinely equipped city EV rather than the cheapest badge only.

Pros
Balanced price-to-equipment point.
Retains the same 340 km WLTP battery pack.
Better cabin tech and convenience than base trim.
Strong safety kit for the class.
Cons
Still expensive against smaller EV alternatives.
Climate controls and driver alerts are annoying in daily use.
Suspension/ride and small-car practicality remain hatchback-limited.
Fast-charging speed is only mid-pack for modern EVs.

Our verdict

These two split the decision: the Chery Q EV is रु 5,16,000 cheaper ex-showroom (14.3%), while the BYD Dolphin is ahead on dealer and service reach and battery capacity — so the answer depends on which of those you are buying for.

Choose the BYD Dolphin if
  • you want servicing within reach of where you live
  • you want the bigger pack for range headroom
  • you drive loaded, or climb steep gradients often

Measured: 43 more service centres in Nepal (44 vs 1); 3.7 kWh more battery capacity; 65 Nm more torque.

Choose the Chery Q EV if
  • the ex-showroom price is your binding constraint
  • you want the stronger powertrain for hill climbs and overtaking

Measured: 27.2 PS more power.

Every figure in this verdict is computed from the table below — the same ex-showroom prices, variant specifications and Nepal service network the page publishes. Nothing here is an estimate, and where a figure is missing on one side the axis is left out rather than guessed.
