CG Motors Launches King Long 16-Seater EV with Segment-First Blade Battery in Nepal
CG Motors has officially introduced the all-new 16-seater electric van from King Long in Nepal, bringing a segment-first combination of capacity, performance, and battery technology to the commercial EV space.
The highlight of the new model is its 75.41 kWh Blade Battery — a first in this segment — engineered to offer enhanced safety, longer lifecycle, and improved driving range. This advanced battery system is expected to significantly boost operational reliability, particularly for high-utilisation passenger transport applications, says the company.
Powering the van is a 120 kW electric motor, delivering strong and consistent performance even under full passenger load. Complementing its drivetrain is a spacious and well-designed interior, aimed at improving comfort for both urban commutes and intercity travel.
According to CG Motors, the launch aligns with Nepal’s increasing demand for eco-friendly, efficient, and cost-effective public transportation solutions. The company also underscored its growing EV ecosystem, which currently includes over 5,000 units sold, more than 260 charging stations, 20 service centres, and a 14-dealer network nationwide.
The King Long 16-seater electric van is priced from NPR 72,50,000, positioning it as a viable and competitive option for fleet operators and transport entrepreneurs looking to transition towards electric mobility.
Founded in 1988 in Xiamen, China, King Long has over three decades of experience in manufacturing buses, coaches, and commercial vehicles, and continues to maintain a strong presence across global markets.
