Fuel Cost Calculator

It depends on the energy drawn from the meter and your local electricity tariff. Multiply the units consumed in kWh by the applicable price per unit.

If your EV travels a known number of kilometres per kWh, divide the electricity tariff by that efficiency figure:

*If your data is recorded in Wh/km or kWh/100 km, use the matching formula instead.

One electricity unit is equal to one kilowatt-hour (1 kWh).

The energy used depends on the bike, travel distance, riding speed, payload, and road conditions. Typical battery capacities range from 2.0 kWh to 4.0 kWh, consuming roughly 2.2 to 4.4 metered units for a complete charge cycle.

Use your vehicle’s certified efficiency figure or measured charging data rather than assuming every bike consumes the same number of units.

Yes, in most cases. Home charging relies on domestic residential tariffs (typically ₹6 to ₹9 per kWh across India).

Commercial public fast chargers usually bill between ₹15 to ₹25 per kWh, plus potential session or parking fees. Charging your electric bike at home is generally 2× to 3× cheaper for the same distance travelled.

Estimate the electricity used for your monthly distance and multiply it by your applicable tariff:

Real-world EV range dynamically adjusts depending on multiple external and riding factors:

• Speed & Wind Resistance: Riding above 55 km/h multiplies aerodynamic drag, draining batteries faster.
• Riding Style: Rapid acceleration draws high current spikes compared to progressive throttle roll-on.
• Road Gradients: Incline slopes and flyovers demand sustained motor power.
• Payload & Pressure: Passenger weight, cargo load, and under-inflated tyres increase rolling drag.
• Battery Condition: Ambient temperature and battery health also influence range.

Compare rides on similar routes and use your observed efficiency to estimate running cost.

Yes. Some energy can be lost between the wall socket and the battery during the AC-to-DC conversion, typically 10% to 15% dissipated as heat.

If your efficiency figure represents energy stored in the battery, the meter may record more energy than that figure suggests. If it represents metered electricity use, those losses are already reflected in the result. Check the definition used by the manufacturer or calculator.

Yes. Smooth acceleration, anticipating traffic, maintaining recommended tyre pressure, and avoiding unnecessary load can help manage energy use significantly.

Gentle braking also allows the regenerative braking system (regen) to recapture kinetic energy back into the battery rather than wasting it as friction brake heat. The effect varies by model and conditions, so use actual riding data to check the difference.

No. It depends on battery capacity, the amount of energy added, charging losses, and the tariff or charging fee.

A larger battery (e.g. 3.7 kWh vs 2.2 kWh) costs more to charge fully, but it also delivers proportionately longer riding range between charges. The cost per kilometre depends on the distance achieved from that energy.

Not necessarily. EVs deliver substantially lower energy costs per kilometre in most usage patterns (around ₹0.25–₹0.40/km vs ₹2.00–₹2.50/km for petrol).

However, a complete total cost of ownership (TCO) evaluation also depends on initial purchase price, financing, insurance, maintenance, battery warranty/replacement, resale value, and your monthly riding distance. Compare the same distance and ownership timeframe before making a decision.
