EV vs Petrol: Which is Actually Better?

Electric scooter or petrol scooter — which one is actually better? EV scooters are often promoted as cheaper to run, while petrol scooters are known for their convenience, range and established reliability. But what happens when we look beyond the hype? In this video, we compare EV scooters vs petrol scooters using real-world factors that actually matter when you're spending your money. 🔋 What we cover in this video: • Real-world EV scooter range vs claimed range • EV vs petrol running cost per kilometre • How much electricity an electric scooter actually uses • How to calculate the electricity cost of charging an EV scooter • EV charging cost per charge • Petrol cost vs electricity cost • EV vs petrol maintenance and service costs • Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) • Long-term ownership cost • Battery life and replacement considerations • Charging time vs petrol refuelling time • Resale value • Performance and everyday practicality • Environmental impact • Who should actually buy an EV scooter? • Who should stick with a petrol scooter? ⚡ How to calculate EV charging cost A simple way to estimate the electricity cost is: Battery Capacity (kWh) × Electricity Rate (₹/kWh) = Approx. Charging Cost For example, if an electric scooter has a 3.7 kWh battery and your electricity rate is ₹8 per unit: 3.7 × ₹8 = ₹29.60 However, actual electricity consumption from the wall can be higher because of charging losses, so real charging cost can vary.
