Illustrative TCO: compares purchase-price gap vs monthly fuel + maintenance. Grid tariffs often fall around ₹7–10 per kWh; adjust petrol and efficiency to match your city and driving.
Extra upfront (EV − petrol): ₹6,00,000
Monthly energy (EV): ₹1,836
Monthly fuel (petrol): ₹17,136
Monthly all-in EV: ₹3,336
Monthly all-in petrol: ₹20,636
Monthly saving (petrol − EV): ₹17,300
Break-even on extra EV price: about 35 months (~42,000 km at your monthly km).
EV vs Petrol TCO (India) helps you fuel, maintenance, and purchase gap → break-even months and distance. It is commonly used by finance teams, founders, individual planners for ev tco india, electric vs petrol cost, break even ev.
What it estimates
Enter both vehicle prices, monthly distance, efficiencies, ₹/kWh (typical grid bands are often discussed around ₹7–10 per unit, but tariffs vary), ₹/L petrol, and simple monthly maintenance for each powertrain. The tool compares all-in monthly cost and, if the EV costs more upfront but less per month, estimates how many months (and km at your monthly km) the running savings take to cover that extra purchase price.
Limits
Ignores financing, insurance, resale, road tax, and public charging vs home tariffs. Use for directional planning only.
