CG Motors

What CG Motors does

CG Motors is the electric vehicle division of CG Corp Global, a Nepalese conglomerate with roots dating to the 1870s. Established in 2019, CG Motors imports and distributes Chinese-manufactured electric vehicles across Nepal through company-owned showrooms, authorized dealers, and a nationwide charging network spanning all 7 provinces. The product portfolio is structured into two segments: passenger vehicles under the NETA brand (NETA V50 crossover, NETA X SUV, NETA S premium sedan, NETA U Pro) sourced from Hozon Auto, and light commercial vehicles under the CG KYC brand (KYC V5D micro van from Changan Automobile's Kuayue sub-brand) and the King Long KINGWIN EV buses (14- and 19-seater using CATL batteries). Technology stack features LFP battery chemistry, GB/T and CCS2 charging standards, an HEPT 3.0 thermostatic battery management system maintaining 15–45°C operating range, V2L external discharge (3.3 kW), and N95-grade HEPA cabin filtration.

The business model is hybrid B2B/B2C: one-time vehicle sales priced from Rs 36,99,000 to Rs 62,99,000 (approximately USD 27,500–47,000) drive the majority of revenue, complemented by recurring service and maintenance through the company-owned service center in Hattiban, Lalitpur, and usage-based charging fees from the 60+ station network. Customer segments include individual consumers (urban commuters and family buyers), commercial fleet operators (tourism, shuttle, cargo delivery), and public transport operators. Distribution combines direct sales (Thapathali showroom for NETA, Panipokhari for KYC and King Long) with a multi-region dealer network (Future Motors, Euro Motors, Brahma Motors, Shrestha Multi Trade, Sangam Shree) and digital tools (EMI calculator, operating cost comparison). The company claims a 3-year TCO advantage of Rs 2,048,712 over diesel vehicles and offers extended warranties of up to 10 years/200,000 km on body structure and 8 years/150,000 km on core components.
