How to read this tool
The result uses your electricity price, petrol price, yearly distance, and the selected scooter. For fixed-battery scooters, the tool estimates electricity use from battery size and real-world range. For swap-battery scooters, it uses a conservative proxy because the local plan matters more than the pack size alone.
This is a running-cost check, not a full ownership-cost model. It does not include insurance, finance, registration, tyre wear, or city-specific swap-plan pricing. Use it to compare energy spend first, then check charging fit and service confidence before you decide.
