- Other reason of higher purchase cost is that the insurance premium of petrol car is economical and on the other hand, the insurance premium of electric car is more expensive.
- However, the registration charges are more cheaper of an electric vehicle. Overall cost of an electric vehicle is more costlier.
Running Cost
- If we talk about the running cost, it is very high of a petrol car. On the contrary, it's very economical of an electric car. If we take an above example, the service cost of an electric vehicle is much cheaper as the battery replacement cost is not included because manufacturers offer 8-year warranty.
- When it comes to fuel efficiency, electric cars are a step ahead of petrol cars. Let's have a look at above table, on an average, if we drive 46 km/day or 6 years, the fuel cost for an electric car much less. Having an electric car saves Rs 6,24,676 on fuel.
- However, the overall running cost of a petrol car is higher on other side.
Insurance
Insuring an electric vehicle will cost you dearly. It is equipped with heavy and costly components. Therefore, the cost of insurance on other side.
