More than 3,200 EVs have been registered at the Road Transport Administration Department, according to the RTAD.
As of last June, 467 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) were registered across various categories in state, region and district offices, including two light cargo vehicles, 2,474 two-wheelers, and 263 three-wheelers.

Between last year and June 2023, passenger vehicle groups registered in the department’s district offices within states and regions include sedans, station wagons, microbuses with a capacity of over 15 passengers, and light vans, jeeps and double-cab vehicles. Pick-up trucks are categorized as light cargo vehicles, including single-cab stand-up vans with a carrying capacity of three tonnes or less, as well as trucks.
Imports of EV chargers, along with various types of electric vehicles imported into the country, have been exempted from Customs duties. — TWA/KZW
