EVS Bhutan EV Service Centre Market Entry
Decision-grade market-entry report for an EVS service-centre model in Bhutan.
Snapshot: 11 August 202651-page full report
Registered EVs
1,531
Official all-class registered EV records at 30 June 2026.
Core gross pool
1,331
Gross light-vehicle + taxi categories; not active SAM.
Gate jobs
490
EVS annual-job threshold; not market estimate.
Base payback
9.294
Base simple payback on reversible capex.
Executive summary
The verdict in full
Standalone centre and franchise are no-go. A reversible Thimphu partner clinic is conditional on audited stock, paid fleet demand and all compliance gates.
Decision dashboard
Official EV records more than doubled from end-2024 to June 2026, but the absolute service pool remains small.
