MG 4 EV Running Cost — Complete Monthly & Yearly Breakdown
The MG 4 EV running cost is remarkably low compared to petrol cars. At just ₹0.8 per kilometer on home electricity (₹/kWh), it costs ₹960 per month for a typical driver covering 40 km daily. An equivalent petrol car would cost ₹8,400/month — that's ₹7,440 in monthly savings.
Beyond fuel, the MG 4 EV maintenance cost is significantly lower at ₹24,000 per year. Electric vehicles have no engine oil to change, no spark plugs, fewer brake pad replacements (thanks to regenerative braking), and no exhaust system. A comparable petrol car costs ₹52,500/year in servicing — that's ₹28,500 more annually.
Insurance for the MG 4 EV is approximately ₹1,05,000 per year. While slightly higher than petrol equivalents due to higher vehicle value, the massive fuel and maintenance savings more than compensate. Over 5 years, total running cost savings with the MG 4 EV exceed ₹5.89 L.
Additional savings come from government incentives: Section 80EEB provides up to ₹1.5 lakh income tax deduction on EV loan interest, most states waive road tax for EVs, and the PM E-DRIVE scheme offers purchase subsidies. These can save an additional ₹1-3 lakh over the ownership period.
