After all, it is one of the variables that should be considered before purchasing an electric motorcycle. We already know the pros and cons of having an electric scooter, today we are going to specifically address the cost of “fuel” the scooter.

It is necessary to demystify this wave that everything involving electric mobility is expensive and inaccessible. To tell you the truth, paying more for petrol is inaccessible and still harming the environment.

How much does it cost to charge an electric scooter: understand the variables

I know you would like a straightforward answer: charging an electric scooter costs x INR.

But this is impossible. This is because some variables are included in this calculation, such as:

• scooter model
• Motor power
• Mains Power
• KW/h value in the region
• Taxes
• Additional tariff flag
• Voltage
  

Therefore, to know exactly how much it costs to charge an electric scooter, you need to use a device called a wattmeter, which is a digital meter. If you don't have this device, you can find out how much it costs to charge an electric scooter “by hand”.

To do this, you must multiply the number of Watts, which is specified on the scooter's charger, by the time it will remain plugged in, thus arriving at the value in kilowatt-hours (kWh).

Let's imagine, for example, an electric scooter with a power of 1,200 W. If it was charging for 4 hours, we have that the energy expenditure was 4.8 KW/h.

To simplify, let's use a rate of INR 0.50 as an example.

So we have that the cost to charge an electric scooter of 1200 W, for 4 hours, with a KW/h price of INR 0.50, is INR 2.40. The calculation is nothing more than multiplying the rate value by the KW/h value that you discovered when doing the calculation that we teach.

Is the energy cost of the scooter worth it?

Okay, now that you know how much it costs to charge an electric scooter, based on the example we gave above, you might be wondering how many kilometers you can run 'fuelling' just once. But this is also a question that the answer depends on the scooter model. The autonomy of electric scooters varies from 30 to 50 km, but in some cases, it can exceed 80 km.

Now imagine driving 50 kilometers and spending just INR 2.40?! Much better than paying more than INR 7 per liter of gasoline, right?

How much would you spend on gas to travel the same 50 kilometers?

Even if you charge your electric scooter more times during the week, at the end of the month the energy expenditure is still advantageous.

Let's assume you charge it 3 times a week. In a month, you will have charged 12 times, at INR 2.40 per time. Your scooter will cost INR 28.8 of energy.

What is your monthly fuel expense? Do the math yourself!

How to charge your electric scooter?

There is not much secret or technique to charge the electric scooter, but some care must be followed so that the procedure is done most efficiently. Did you know, for example, that when putting it to charge you must first connect the charger to the battery and only then to the socket? And, after charging, follow the opposite procedure, that is, remove the plug first and then remove the charger from the battery.

See other necessary precautions when charging your scooter.

• The charger can only be used indoors. Charging in an unprotected place such as the sun or rain is prohibited. In case of no charging, do not connect the charger to AC power without charging for a long time.
• During charging, if the indicator light is not normal, it may have an odor or the charger compartment will be overheated. Stop charging and repair or replace the charger.
• Do not use the charger in an environment where there is a flammable gas, otherwise, it may explode or burn. Do not place the charger near water sources or wet places, otherwise, there will be the presence of flame or electric shock.
• In case the equipment is exposed because of damage caused by charging or collisions, etc., do not touch the exposed parts, this may result in electric shock.

Also, if you need to store for more than 1 month, it is recommended to charge between 60~80% charge. Every 3 months it is necessary to recharge.

And before using the product, or after storage, it needs to be recharged as well.
