How the EV savings calculator works
The calculator compares what you spend on petrol today with what the same distance costs on an electric scooter:
- Monthly distance = daily km × 30 days
- Petrol cost = monthly km ÷ your mileage (km/l) × petrol price per litre
- Charging cost = monthly km × 25 Wh/km ÷ 1000 × electricity price per unit
- Break-even = scooter price ÷ monthly savings
- CO₂ saved = litres of petrol avoided per year × 2.31 kg
25 Wh per km is a typical figure for city electric scooters. Your real use can be a little higher or lower depending on the model, battery type, rider weight and speed.
Petrol vs electric scooter cost in Vizag — examples
Based on petrol at ₹110/litre, a 45 km/l petrol scooter and electricity at ₹7/unit:
| Daily ride | Petrol / month | EV charging / month | Monthly saving | Yearly saving |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 km/day | ₹1,467 | ₹105 | ₹1,362 | ₹16,340 |
| 40 km/day | ₹2,933 | ₹210 | ₹2,723 | ₹32,680 |
| 60 km/day | ₹4,400 | ₹315 | ₹4,085 | ₹49,020 |
Even a short 20 km daily ride — school runs, shopping, or the trip from Gajuwaka to Steel Plant — saves over ₹1,300 a month. Riders covering 60 km a day save close to ₹50,000 a year.
More ways an EV saves you money
- Lower servicing: no engine oil, spark plugs, clutch or air filter.
- No licence, RTO or insurance for low-speed models like our Budget Series.
- Charge at home overnight from a normal 5A/15A socket.
- Exchange your old petrol vehicle at our showroom to reduce your upfront cost.
Which electric scooter should you choose?
For short daily trips, the no-licence Budget Series from ₹39,999* pays for itself fastest. For longer commutes, a Zelio electric scooter with a lithium or LFP battery gives more range per charge. Read our petrol cost guide and lithium-ion vs LFP battery guide to learn more.
