Example: Tata Nexon EV base ~₹15L on-road Kolkata; home charge ₹7/unit, 15 unit/100km = ₹1.05/km। Petrol SUV ₹12L, 12 km/l, ₹110/litre = ₹9.2/km। Daily 50km — EV ₹52/day vs petrol ₹460/day fuel gap ₹12,000+/month theoretical max; real world 60-70% save accounting charging loss। 3 year ownership fuel+service EV ahead despite higher upfront — May enquiry surge this math household spreadsheet।
Subsidy reality — FAME কমেও বিক্রি বাড়ল কেন
FAME III lower per-vehicle incentive vs FAME II — yet 45% YoY EV growth May। Fuel price elasticity stronger than subsidy elasticity Bernstein analysis। State incentive West Bengal periodic — central gap state fill variable। Corporate fleet ESG mandate + TCO — B2B 4W EV order contribute 26K PV number। Consumer 2W largely personal TCO fuel saving Ola S1 Pro, TVS iQube EMI ₹4-6K vs petrol scooter ₹3K fuel comparable।
