Before commercially utilizing EVs, Daraz first tested them from various brands to understand how suitable they would be for transportation in Nepal in terms of cost, usability, ease of use, and environmental protection. After finding out that the eco-friendly vehicles are fully capable of meeting its demands, the company sought fuel-based vehicle alternatives.
