Render

Each new or changed month re-renders the country. Shares are read from the CSV as column ÷ TOTAL and grouped into three curves. A generalized Weibull S-curve is fitted to the BEV and the ICE share, and the charts, the fitted parameters, the twelve-month totals and the uncertainty bands are rewritten.

Which curve does a CSV column count towards?

BEVBEV
PHEV or EREV (plug-in hybrids, range extenders)
Does the source split plug-ins from other hybrids?
- yesPHEV
- no — one combined hybrid figure (parked in HEV)ICE
  the PHEV curve is left out, never drawn at zero
HEV or MHEV (full and mild hybrids — no plug)ICE
petrol, diesel, gas, flex-fuel, othersICE

Definitions & scope

Acquisition	File — downloaded as a data file (XLSX / Parquet / ODS / zip)
Vehicle scope	Whole = HS 8703 cars/jeeps/vans (≈ EU M1) excl. three-wheelers; figures are imports, not registrations — Nepal imports its entire vehicle market.
HEV (full hybrids)	not split by the source — folds into the combustion totals
Backfill	monthly from 2020-08; pre-2020 not splittable (see §7)
Auth	none (public downloads)

Variants

Each variant is its own series with its own CSV. Not every variant is charted in the gallery — the CSV is the authoritative record either way.

Variant	What it counts	Held	Raw data
Whole	HS 8703 imports — cars, jeeps and vans (approximately EU M1), excluding three-wheelers.	2020-08 – 2026-10 75 rows	`data/Nepal.csv`
3-Wheelers	Passenger three-wheelers — petrol auto-rickshaws and electric e-rickshaws.	2020-08 – 2026-10 75 rows	`data/Nepal_3-Wheelers.csv`

History we hold

Every bar is the span actually present in our stored CSV — breaks in a bar are real gaps in the series, not rendering. Cadence is shown on the right.

Whole 2020-08–2026-10 (75 rows), 3-Wheelers 2020-08–2026-10 (75 rows).

Which fuel columns this source fills

A blank column almost never means "no such cars" — it means this source does not split them out, and those vehicles are counted inside another column. Check the caveats for where they land.

	BEV	PHEV	HEV	PETROL	DIESEL	OTHERS
Whole	reported	not reported	reported	reported	reported	reported
3-Wheelers	reported	not reported	always zero	reported	always zero	always zero

reported column exists but is zero in every row not reported by this source. Hover a cell for the row count.

Caveats

Figures are customs imports, not registrations (no domestic car production; import ≈ market).
Nepali-calendar months (mid-month to mid-month) are labelled by their Gregorian end month.
Hybrids are one combined bucket (PHEV/HEV boundary in the tariff codes is unreliable); tiny volumes either way.
Passenger three-wheelers (auto-/e-rickshaws) are split into their own 3-Wheelers series — they would otherwise dwarf the BEV car count.
