Start here

Use energy consumed and your tariff. If the scooter uses an illustrative 0.035 kWh/km and you ride 8,000 km a year at an illustrative blended ₹9/kWh, annual energy cost is 8,000 × 0.035 × 9 = ₹2,520. Replace those example inputs with your scooter’s measured consumption and actual tariff.

What applies to this exact problem

Use energy consumed and your tariff. If the scooter uses an illustrative 0.035 kWh/km and you ride 8,000 km a year at an illustrative blended ₹9/kWh, annual energy cost is 8,000 × 0.035 × 9 = ₹2,520. Replace those example inputs with your scooter’s measured consumption and actual tariff.

For comparison with petrol, use the same annual kilometres and realistic fuel efficiency. The running-cost advantage can be large, but ownership value still depends on upfront price, finance, service access and resale.

Check these first

  • Use energy consumed and your tariff.
  • For comparison with petrol, use the same annual kilometres and realistic fuel efficiency.

Fix it in this order
