Kathmandu, Since the Government’s decision to reduce tax on electric vehicles, a lot of Nepalis are going for electric vehicles. Currently, there are different models of EVs ranging from 15lacs to 2.5 crores in the Nepali market. Mr. Ajay Shrestha, proprietor of Siddhi Enterprises and J.S. Enterprises, has recently bought the Citroën eC3. Here’s what he has to say about his choice to go electric:
Its Premium looks. The Citroen eC3 looks and feels premium both externally and internally. It has good space inside. The ground clearance is quite good for roads of Nepal and most importantly this is the only premium looking EV in this budget.
Its SUV looks and comfortable seats and of course Infotainment system. Additionally, it is very spacious.
It’s very smooth. The handling of the Citroen eC3 is very easy and comfortable. Its fully automatic and that’s what makes the driving more comfortable. Also, the performance and torque generation of the Citroen eC3 is impressive. French DNA equipped Citroen eC3 gives you a trust and a Luxury driving experience on a good budget. It’s a value for money car.
It’s very easy and comfortable. Although we can’t get claimed range in real life driving, we can easily achieve 230-260 km range with single charge which is quite impressive. haven’t faced any problem driving uphill or off road so far.
The most interesting feature is it doesn’t move automatically unless driver ties up the seat belt and all the doors are closed properly. You have to force move it. Beside that the signals and warnings are pretty clear.
My friends and Family really like it as they can have very comfortable space, leg room, personal bottle holder, charging port etc for them. And of course, the enjoy the music while driving with Citroen.
I have definitely felt very huge difference in my expenses. I have driven almost 9000 KM with the Citroen eC3 and so far, my maintenance cost is zero. Beside that I have saved huge amount on Petrol. Before, I would nearly spend 12-15 rupees for 1km range for petrol car but with its down to 1 rupee per kilometer. For 1km range for petrol car I would nearly spend 12-15 rupees but with Citroen eC3, its down to 1 rupee per kilometer. As my daily average travel range is 100 km a day. I nearly save 30-35 K per month only on fuel expenses. If anyone is planning to buy a car on EMI that saving might cover your EMI.
I am satisfied with the Dealership. They are welcoming and its always a good vibe to be there. The most attractive part of them is they are not manipulative. They do not force sell the car. Service center is also supportive and ready to help you whenever you need assistance.
I would definitely recommend the Citroen eC3 because it’s a compact SUV with all the needed features that comes in attractive price. I agree that the features given could be better or more but as per the price it can be considered. Moreover, it looks huge and perfect for a family for city and also for nearby destinations.
I feel good driving the Citroen eC3. Its Handy and comfortable. I also feel great as I am using the resource of my own Country while driving it.
