Features
- Work with Average Daily Driving Distance (km); Petrol Vehicle Mileage (km/L); Petrol Price per Litre (₹).
- Review Petrol Cost / km; EV Charging Cost / km; Monthly Savings in the result breakdown.
Benefits
- Compare fuel and electricity assumptions consistently.
- See how distance travelled affects the running-cost difference.
Who should use this tool?
- People researching a vehicle-cost scenario.
- Drivers checking a travel-budget comparison.
How to use
- Complete the labelled fields for your scenario, including Average Daily Driving Distance (km); Petrol Vehicle Mileage (km/L); Petrol Price per Litre (₹). Use the units shown beside each field.
- Try the example labelled “Car Commute: 40 km/day (15 km/L Petrol vs 7 km/kWh EV Car)” if you want to check the workflow first.
- Select Calculate / Run Tool and review 5-Year EV Fuel Savings & Running Cost/km and Petrol Cost / km; EV Charging Cost / km.
- Check the assumptions and limitations below. Adjust a value to compare scenarios, then copy or download the result you need.

FAQs
Is the running-cost difference the total ownership saving?
Ownership can also include purchase price, finance, servicing, insurance, battery costs and resale value. A running-energy comparison does not include every one of those costs.
Which inputs do I need for EV (Electric Vehicle) vs Petrol/CNG Running Cost Comparison Calculator?
Use Average Daily Driving Distance (km); Petrol Vehicle Mileage (km/L); Petrol Price per Litre (₹); EV Efficiency (km per 1 kWh Unit — Car ~7, Scooter ~30), then complete the remaining fields for your scenario. The built-in examples show how those fields fit together.
What should I check before using this result?
Compares running energy/fuel cost; factor in battery replacement after 8 years separately. Check the assumptions and output against your intended task before relying on the result.
