(monthly savings × 60) − price differenceNote: This calculator considers fuel/electricity costs only. For a complete TCO analysis, also account for maintenance savings (EVs have ~40% lower maintenance cost), insurance differences, and applicable government subsidies.
At current prices (petrol ≈ ₹106/litre, electricity ≈ ₹8/kWh), an EV costs roughly ₹1.3–1.5 per km while a petrol car costs ₹5–8 per km. This means EV running costs are 70–80% lower than petrol for average Indian conditions.
For most Indian EV buyers driving 40–50 km daily, the break-even point is typically 3–5 years. With state subsidies under PM E-DRIVE and FAME-III (expected), the break-even can reduce to 2–3 years.
Yes, significantly. EVs have fewer moving parts — no engine oil changes, no spark plugs, no exhaust system, no gearbox servicing. Studies suggest EVs cost 30–50% less to maintain than petrol cars over 5 years.
As of 2026, India has over 12,000 public charging stations. EESL and ChargeZone are expanding rapidly in Tier 2 cities. Most EV owners charge at home overnight using a standard 15A socket or a dedicated home charger.
