EV COST CHECKER

Public charging cost

Public charging rates vary by operator, city, and charger power. Many networks offer app-based promos, subscriptions, or time-of-day pricing that can reduce your cost per kWh.

• Fortum Glida
• Bolt

Public Charging Strategy

On road trips, you often only need enough energy to reach home or your destination where slower, cheaper charging is available. Plan charging stops to take advantage of lower-cost options when practical.

Home electricity cost

Domestic tariffs vary by state, slab, and DISCOM. Time-of-day (ToD) tariffs are rolling out in many states; charging off-peak can cut costs significantly. Check with your DISCOM for EV-specific tariffs or ToD schedules.

• BSES Delhi
• MSEDCL (Maharashtra)
• TANGEDCO (Tamil Nadu)

Solar + EV

Rooftop solar (under state/central schemes) can reduce your effective charging cost. Export/net metering policies differ by state; review local regulations and economics before investing.

Servicing

EVs have far fewer moving parts than ICE vehicles and generally lower routine servicing costs. Brakes often last longer thanks to regenerative braking.
