If you're concerned about the ever-increasing prices of petrol and diesel, learn about how to charge an electric vehicle (EV). Each state has its unique set of rules for power, which might affect the cost of charging. We've compiled data on the cost of electric vehicle charges in Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru for you today.

Do you know?

There are two types of chargers in the EV. A fast charger that charges a car in 60 to 110 minutes and the other slow charger, which takes between 6 and 7 hours.

How much will it cost in Mumbai?

If you charge an electric car in Mumbai, you will have to pay Rs. 15 per unit for electricity. This information was given by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). According to reports, full charging of an electric car consumes 20-30 units of electricity. Accordingly, if you fully charge your electric car in Mumbai, it will cost up to Rs. 200-400. Ola Electric Scooter is charged only in 3 units of electricity.

Charging expenses in Delhi

The Delhi government has fixed Rs 4.5 per unit for low tension charging of electric trains and Rs 5 per unit for high tension electric vehicles. Service charges will also be levied on the basis of charging facility. Accordingly, the electric car will have to pay Rs 120 to Rs 150 on charging anywhere in Delhi. According to a report, there are more than 100 charging stations in and around Delhi. More stations will be made soon.

Bengaluru to get so much money

(BESCOM) in Bengaluru provides electricity for EV charging and charges charging between Rs 7.28 and Rs 8.90 per unit, which is higher than Delhi but less than Mumbai. Accordingly, Bengaluru will have to spend Rs 240 to fully charge an electric car. The Karnataka government says it will build a charging station every 5 kilometers to facilitate charging.

What is the average range of an electric car in full charge?

An electric car can travel from 140 km to 170 km when fully charged. If you also use a car only from home to office and office to travel home, guess for yourself how little money you will have to spend. That is why all vehicle companies are strengthening themselves in the electric segment and are constantly introducing new products.
