    The discussion of electric vehicles has intensified once again. In this era of expensive petrol and diesel, everyone wants that they too should run on electric vehicles. But people are not able to buy electric vehicles even if they want to. If Nitin Gadkari is to be believed, then the prices of petrol and electric vehicles will become equal in the next two years. How much power is there in the claims of Nitin Gadkari, it will be known only after two years. But the biggest reason for not adopting electric vehicles right now is also the expensive price.

Most of the customers postpone the decision of buying an electric vehicle only after seeing the huge difference in the prices of petrol and electric vehicles, because the customers are not in favour of paying much higher price for electric vehicles as compared to petrol.

If you drive about 50 kilometers in this car daily, that is, you travel about 1500 kilometers in a month.

In five years, this figure will be Rs 517,200. This calculation has been done according to 17.4 kmpl milage,
