Based on usage patterns, we recommend a budget of ₹6.00 L to ₹15.00 L ex-showroom. This range balances upfront cost with your typical 8,500 km/year usage for optimal TCO.
How many km should the EV's range be for my profession?+
Teacher / Professors average 25 km/day. Pick an EV with at least 250 km claimed range — that gives you full-day headroom with buffer for AC, traffic, and battery degradation over time.

What charging setup should I have?+
For 25+ km/day, we strongly recommend a 7.2 kW home AC wallbox (overnight full charge ~4-5 hrs). Expect ₹30-50k one-time setup cost. DC fast charging is for exceptions — not daily use (2-3× the cost per km).
