Kaiyi e-Qute 02 EV costs रु 3,000 less ex-showroom. e-Qute 02 EV has 13.4 PS more power.
At NPR 22.96 lakh, the Lumin suits urban buyers prioritizing a compact EV and claimed 301 km range. Its value is weakened by the lack of publicly confirmed Nepal data on safety equipment, charging performance and warranty.
The 300 km variant is the more practical choice for most buyers, providing significantly better range for a modest price increase. It is the recommended trim for those who want to avoid frequent charging.
