CG Motor’s first electric crossover in Nepal: The Neta V
CG Motor—the newest branch of the Chaudhary Group—is planning to launch its first crossover electric vehicle-the Neta V in Nepal. Under the brand name Neta, the Neta V is a 4-metre electric crossover manufactured by Hozon Auto.
Globally, the EV comes with two different battery options: a 31-kWh and a 38-kWh. However, in Nepal, we can get the Neta V deluxe model which comes with a 38-kWh battery.
The company insures the battery, motor, and power electronics for 8 years or 1,50,000 kilometres.
Now, let’s have a look at its design, specifications, and price in Nepal.
