A ) The cost of charging at a public station varies depending on the state or city in which the charger is located. The cost may be calculated per kWh of electricity used or based on the charging time, and it also varies by the charging speed offered by the charger. For example, in Maharashtra, you may have to spend anywhere from Rs 130 to Rs 240 to charge an electric car such as the Tata Nexon EV.
Q ) How much does it cost to charge an electric car at home?
A ) The cost of home charging an EV can be easily calculated – just multiply your local electricity tariff by your vehicle’s charging capacity. For example, a Tata Nexon EV Max with its 40.5kWh battery can be fully charged for around Rs 260-330 in Delhi, where the tariff ranges from Rs 6.5-8 per unit.
