How the cost is worked out
The calculator multiplies your battery size by how much you charge (for example 20% to 80%), adds charging losses, and multiplies by your electricity rate. By default it uses ₹8 per unit at home, ₹12 at public AC chargers and ₹18 at DC fast chargers, with 90% efficiency for AC and 93% for DC. You can change all of these. See how we calculate for the full formula.
Tips to cut your charging cost
- Charge at home where you can. It's usually the cheapest option, especially on an EV tariff or off-peak rate.
- Use DC fast chargers for road trips rather than daily top-ups; they cost more per unit.
- Check your electricity bill for the actual rate per unit, including taxes and fixed charges.
- Find chargers near you on the EV Track charger map, with prices where networks publish them.
