See city-wise cost →How EV cost per km is calculated
The formula is simple: Cost per km = Electricity rate ÷ EV efficiency (km/kWh). An EV doing 6 km/kWh at ₹8/kWh costs ₹1.33 per km. A petrol car at 15 km/L and ₹105/L costs ₹7.00 per km — roughly 5× more. That's the core reason EV ownership saves money over time, even when the EV has a higher sticker price.
City matters a lot
India's residential electricity tariffs vary from ₹5.4/kWh (Chandigarh) to ₹10.7/kWh (Bangalore) — nearly a 2× spread. A Tata Nexon EV costing ₹1.20/km in Chandigarh costs ₹2.38/km in Bangalore. Both are still dramatically cheaper than petrol, but your exact savings depend on where you plug in.
What the sticker claim hides
Brochures often quote ARAI-claimed efficiency. Real-world efficiency drops 10-20% due to AC usage, traffic, hills, and highway speeds. We use real-world numbers derived from owner reports and our own testing, so the per-km number on these pages is what you'll actually pay — not a best-case figure.
