Common Questions
What is the real-world mileage of Lotus Emeya in Mumbai?
In Mumbai, the Lotus Emeya delivers around 500 km real-world range per full charge (current season: summer). City driving: ~549 km, Highway: ~470 km.
Why is real-world range less than claimed 610 km?
ARAI testing uses ideal conditions. Real-world factors — AC usage, traffic, driving style, terrain, weather, and road conditions — typically reduce range to 75-90% of the claimed figure.
How much does charging cost per km in Mumbai?
At ₹8/kWh electricity tariff, the Lotus Emeya costs about ₹0.88/km — roughly 89% cheaper than a petrol car.
Does AC usage reduce range?
Yes — AC can reduce range by 10-20%. Pre-cool your car while plugged in to minimize the impact when driving.
Is highway range worse than city range?
Typically yes. EVs are most efficient at 40-60 km/h. Highway speeds of 80-100+ km/h increase aerodynamic drag and reduce range by 10-20%.
