Yes — electric vehicles are taxed by motor power (kW for cars, watts for bikes and scooters) on separate, generally lower bands than the equivalent petrol/diesel engine-cc tiers. Exact figures vary by province — see the tax bands on this page or the full vehicle tax calculator.
Do you need a licence for an electric scooter in Nepal?
Low-power electric scooters (small wattage, low top speed) are generally exempt from licence and registration in Nepal, while higher-power electric scooters and motorcycles need both, like petrol two-wheelers. Confirm the motor wattage and top speed against the current rule before buying.

Home charging is billed at the Nepal Electricity Authority domestic tariff, so a full charge typically costs far less than an equivalent tank of petrol. Actual cost depends on the battery size (kWh) and your electricity slab.
