    Why does charging cost vary so much by state?

    India has separate state electricity regulators (SERCs) and distribution companies (DISCOMs), and each sets its own tariff. States with large power-surplus like Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, and the North-East have low rates; deficit states like Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh charge more. Subsidy-heavy states like Chandigarh and Delhi offer steep low-slab rates but kick up sharply after 500 units — where most EV-owning households end up landing.

    This matters because your EV's per-km cost is directly proportional to your state's electricity rate. A Tata Nexon EV costs ₹1.20/km in Chandigarh but ₹2.38/km in Bangalore — nearly 2× difference for the same car. Still dramatically cheaper than petrol in both states, but the exact savings depend on where you charge.
