What is the expected mileage cost per km for the Tata Curvv EV?
As a current EV owner, let me give you real-world numbers that should apply to the Curvv: Overnight charging at home: ₹1.0-1.2 per km Shopping mall charging (often free): ₹0 per km Highway fast charging: ₹2.0-2.8 per km Mixed usage: ₹1.5-2.0 per km averageThe exact cost depends on your electricity tariff and charging habits. If you have solar panels at home, the cost could drop to ₹0.3-0.5 per km! The key is to charge at home overnight as much as possible and use public charging only when necessary. Over 15,000 km annually, the Curvv EV could save you ₹1-1.5 lakh in fuel costs compared to a petrol SUV.
The running cost for the Tata Curvv EV should be around ₹1.0-1.5 per kilometer for home charging, and ₹2.0-2.5 per kilometer for public fast charging. Here's the breakdown:- Home charging at ₹8/kWh: 6 km per kWh = ₹1.33/km- Public charging at ₹15-18/kWh: 6 km per kWh = ₹2.5-3.0/kmThis is dramatically cheaper than petrol SUVs which cost ₹8-12 per km at current fuel prices. Even if you use public charging exclusively, you're still saving 70-80% on fuel costs compared to a similar petrol SUV.
