Home charging costs ₹6–9/kWh (domestic tariff). Public AC chargers cost ₹12–18/kWh; DC fast chargers ₹18–25/kWh. A Tata Nexon EV (40 kWh) costs ₹240–360 to charge at home for 300–400 km range — about ₹0.75–1.20/km vs ₹7–10/km for petrol.

An average Indian driving 1,200 km/month can save ₹5,000–9,000/month on fuel alone by switching from petrol to EV. Annual savings of ₹60,000–1,00,000 are realistic. Add lower maintenance (no oil changes, fewer brake jobs) for further savings.

Yes, with good location and utilisation. A station with 2 DC fast chargers can generate ₹50,000–2,00,000/month at 30–60% utilisation. Setup cost is ₹10–30 lakh. Payback is typically 3–6 years. FAME subsidies and state EV policies further improve economics.

Real-world range is typically 15–25% less than certified range. Tata Nexon EV: 280–320 km (certified 465 km). Tata Punch EV: 270–310 km. MG ZS EV: 380–420 km. Factors: AC usage (reduces range 20–30%), highway speed (range drops at 80+ km/h), and temperature.

FAME II (Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of EVs) provided subsidies of ₹10,000–1,50,000 on electric two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and buses. FAME III is expected with continued support. Many states offer additional subsidies — Maharashtra, Delhi, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu have active EV policies.
