How much money does an EV scooter save compared to a petrol bike?

An average commuter riding 30 km daily saves between $500 and $900 (₹35,000 to ₹60,000) per year in fuel and oil change maintenance, recouping higher purchase costs in 1.5 to 2.5 years.

Does this calculator include battery degradation and replacement?

Yes. The calculation factors in a standard 4-to-5 year lithium-ion battery replacement cost allowance to provide an authentic Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Economic Comparison: Internal Combustion vs Battery Electric

Electric two-wheelers deliver approximately 85% lower daily energy costs because electric motors operate with over 90% thermal efficiency compared to ~30% for small petrol engines.

Annual Petrol Cost = (Daily KM × 365 / Mileage) × Fuel Price Annual EV Cost = (Daily KM × 365 / Range) × Battery kWh × Electricity Tariff 5-Year Net Savings = (5 × Annual Petrol) - (5 × Annual EV) - Battery Contingency
