Even if you only charge at the more expensive DC fast chargers, electricity is always cheaper than petrol / HSD. And it’s also cleaner. The cheapest place to charge your vehicle is at businesses or workplaces that offer free charging. Second to that is charging at home, where electricity on average costs between Rs 7 to Rs 10 /kWh. Over the course of the car’s lifetime, the cost savings can make owning an EV cheaper than a petrol-powered car, even if the purchase price is significantly higher.
