Charging your EV on your home meter? You may be paying ₹16–19 per unit without realising it. In Maharashtra, MSEDCL's home tariff goes up in slabs, and an EV pushes your monthly units straight into the most expensive ones. A separate EV connection (what I call the green meter ) costs a flat ₹9.25 per unit . Here's how the two compare, with real numbers, and how much a green meter can save you every month.

Petrol, CNG or EV: which one actually costs less? I've owned all three: a Hyundai Santro Xing on a CNG kit, a Honda City CVT on petrol, and now a Suzuki eVitara EV. Running costs range from ₹6.6 per km in my Honda City on the highway down to ₹1.2 per km in my eVitara charged at home. But an EV costs more to buy, so here's the full picture: running cost, purchase price, break-even, daily life, and who should buy what.

How to do DC Charging: Suzuki eVitara  20% battery, evening drive home, and a choice: charge at home for about 8 hours (and get up at 3 AM to switch it off), or try the DC fast charger at a Nexa showroom. I tried Nexa DC for the first time with my Suzuki eVitara. My battery went from 23% to 80% in about 39 minutes and the bill was ₹716 . Here's exactly how to start a session, what it cost compared with home charging and petrol, and the 4 things to know before your first visit.

New Car - PPF or ceramic coating?  New car, first big question: PPF or ceramic coating? Full-body PPF on an SUV can cost roughly ₹1.2 lakh to ₹3 lakh or more. I chose 3M Graphene + Ceramic coating for my Suzuki eVitara, and it cost me ₹26,000 . Here's what each option actually does, the process on my car, and the one thing coating simply can't do.

Best EVs under ₹20 lakh (festive 2026). A Tata Nexon.ev for ₹8.99 lakh? Not really. Its real ex-showroom price is ₹14.34 lakh; the rest is battery rent. This festival season there are 11 electric cars under ₹20 lakh in India, and the headline prices can be confusing. I own a Suzuki eVitara and test-drove six of these. Here's every option in two budgets, the Battery-as-a-Service maths, and my honest picks.
