India · Everyday EV decisions
Find out if an electric caractually makes sense for you.
No hype, no hate. Just clear numbers on battery life, safety, cost per km, and whether an EV fits your real life in Indian cities and highways.
Quick EV snapshot
Modern EV batteries usually keep over 80–90% range even after 1–2 lakh km, and EVs are much less likely to catch fire than petrol cars.
Scroll to see where EVs genuinely win, where they don’t, and where you should be cautious.
Three simple reasons EVs are worth a hard look
You do not have to love EVs. But if you drive a lot in the city and keep your cars for many years, the math usually starts favouring electric pretty fast.
Fuel and service are where EVs win.
Electricity per km is cheaper than petrol, and there is no engine, clutch, turbo or exhaust to maintain. For high-km users, this beats the higher upfront price.
Smooth, quiet and full torque in traffic.
No gear changes, instant torque and home charging change how the car feels to live with. You mostly skip fuel pumps and sit in a quieter cabin every day.
Zero tailpipe and better lifetime CO₂.
EVs remove local exhaust fumes completely. Even with today's grid, their lifetime CO₂ usually beats an efficient petrol car once you drive enough km.
Deep dives: money, charging, battery and safety
If you want to go beyond vibes and reels, these pages break down the hard parts: actual running costs, how to charge, how long packs last, and what official fire data says.
EV vs petrol vs diesel over years.
Use real-world km/l and km/kWh for Tiago, Nexon, Creta and XEV9e to see how much you actually spend.
NMC vs LFP and 15A vs wallbox.
How to charge daily, when to hit 100%, and why a simple 15A plug is enough for most Indian owners.
LFP vs NMC and real degradation.
Fleet data, LFP studies and a 10-year projection for typical Indian km to cut through “battery dies in 5 years” myths.
Resale value: The data vs the fear.
Why early EVs lost value fast, how falling battery prices affect used cars, and what the resale market actually looks like today.
EV fires vs petrol with real stats.
Large dataset comparisons, post-crash fire risk and what agencies actually say about EV safety.
