Formula & Calculation Methodology
5-Yr Petrol TCO = Cost + (Km / Mileage * Price) + Service vs EV TCO = Cost + (Km / 30 * Unit) + Service.
Step-by-Step Worked Example
Daily Commute: 35 km/day, Petrol: ₹102/L @ 45 kmpl, Power: ₹8/unit
- 5-Year Petrol Cost: ₹95,000 (Scooter) + ₹1,19,000 (Fuel) + ₹20,000 (Service) = ₹2,34,000
- 5-Year EV Cost: ₹1,30,000 (EV) + ₹14,000 (Electricity) + ₹5,000 (Service) = ₹1,49,000
Result: 5-Year Net Savings: ₹85,000 | EV Extra Cost Recovered in ~19 Months
