The cost of charging your battery at home is estimated at Rs 6 - 7 per unit. The full charge for a 40 kWh battery will therefore cost Rs 250, taking about 6-8 hours to charge fully. On a full charge, a 40 kWh battery installed in leading EVs may give ranges of 350-400 km. In a home charge infrastructure, the cost of operating the electric vehicle will be less than Rs 1 per kilometre.

Electric vehicles have a lower center of gravity than conventional vehicles because the motor is smaller than engines and the weight of the batteries is uniformly distributed. This results in better handling, responsiveness, and a comfortable ride.

Sustainability is the buzzword now. Let's look at what that means when it comes to transport.

Electric vehicles do not have an internal combustion engine, so they have fewer mechanical parts than internal combustion vehicles. This means that EVs do not require routine maintenance such as oil changes, fluid fill-ups, or maintenance caused by malfunctioning engine parts such as spark plugs and belts.
