Mercedes-Benz EQB vs Petrol Car — Is It Worth Switching to Electric?
The Mercedes-Benz EQB starts at ₹72.20 L ex-showroom, which is approximately ₹21.66 L more than a comparable petrol car at ₹50.54 L. However, the Mercedes-Benz EQB costs just ₹0.98/km to run vs ₹7/km for petrol — a 86% reduction in per-kilometer cost that quickly erases the upfront premium.
At 40 km of daily driving, the Mercedes-Benz EQB saves ₹7,224 every month on fuel. Add the maintenance savings of ₹5,716/month (EVs need no oil changes, fewer brake jobs, no exhaust repairs), and the total monthly advantage reaches ₹12,940.
The breakeven point — when cumulative savings equal the price difference — comes at approximately 300 months (25.0 years). After that, every month of ownership puts money back in your pocket. By year 5, the total cost of ownership stands at ₹88.43 L for the Mercedes-Benz EQB vs ₹72.01 L for the petrol equivalent.
Beyond cost, the Mercedes-Benz EQB produces zero tailpipe emissions (saving approximately 1752 kg of CO₂ per year), runs virtually silent, qualifies for Section 80EEB tax deduction (₹1.5 lakh on loan interest), and benefits from state road tax waivers and registration fee exemptions. The verdict: for most drivers covering 40+ km daily, switching to the Mercedes-Benz EQB is both financially smart and environmentally responsible.
