Frequently asked questions

Multiply the energy added by your electricity rate. Adding 80% to a 50 kWh battery at 8 per kWh costs about 320.

Many owners charge to 80% for daily use to extend battery life, topping up fully only before long trips.

Usually yes. Home rates, especially off-peak, are typically cheaper than public fast chargers.

No. Real charging loses a few percent as heat, so the actual cost is slightly higher than the energy stored.

The EV Charging Cost Calculator uses the formula: Charging cost = Battery capacity × Charge added ÷ 100 × Electricity rate. For example, with battery capacity of 50 kWh, charge added of 8% and electricity rate of per kWh8, the charging cost is ₹320.00.
