Frequently Asked Questions

How much can I save by switching from a petrol car to an EV in India?

Running an electric vehicle in India typically costs between ₹1.00 to ₹1.50 per km, compared to ₹6.00 to ₹8.50 per km for a petrol car (assuming petrol at ~₹95/L and mileage of 14–16 kmpl). If you drive 1,200 km per month, you can save approximately ₹60,000 to ₹80,000 annually in fuel alone.

What is the formula for calculating vehicle loan EMI?

Vehicle EMI is calculated using the standard reducing balance formula: EMI = [P x R x (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N - 1], where P is Principal Loan Amount, R is monthly interest rate, and N is the total number of monthly installments.

What is an ideal down payment percentage for a new car or bike?

Financial advisors generally recommend the 20/4/10 rule: put down at least 20% as a down payment, keep the loan tenure to a maximum of 4 years, and ensure total vehicle expenses (EMI + insurance + fuel) do not exceed 10% of your gross monthly income.
