for this comparison I am comparing OLA S1 (electric scooter) with ACTIVA 6G ( normal scooter)
In this case, you can save around ₹60,000-70,000 over 5 years by buying an electric scooter. However, if you use your scooter for less than 10 kilometers per day, a normal scooter would be a better option. If you plan to use your scooter heavily every day (more than 10km per day ), buying an electric scooter makes sense, and you may also be eligible for subsidies depending on your state of residence.
| costs | OLA S1 ( electric) | ACTIVA 6G(normal) |
| buying cost | 1,10,000 | 93,000 |
| daily run(assumption) | 30 km | 30 km |
| yearly run | 10,950 km | 10,950 km |
| cost per km | 0.65 | 2.5 |
| fuel cost (5 years) | 35,558 | 1,36,875 |
| insurance (5years) | 35,000 | 32,000 |
| maintaince(5years) | 20,000 | 40,000 |
| battery replacement | 35,000 | 0 |
| cost of owning (after 5 years) | 2,35,588 | 3,01,875 |
