Scooter tool · India
Running cost = your distance ÷ how far each unit takes you × what that unit costs. Riding 8,000 km a year on a scooter using 3 kWh per 100 km needs about 240 units, or ₹1,920 at ₹8 a unit — against about 178 litres and ₹18,700 for a petrol scooter doing 45 km/l at ₹105 a litre.
All money fields are INR. The scooter selector shows the current India electric scooter catalog.
Okaya Faast stays cheaper to run than a 45 km/l petrol scooter at these prices.
I’d save ₹16,491 per year with Okaya Faast F4 4.4 kWh over a petrol scooter at these prices.

The Faast F4 sells on battery size: 4.4 kWh split across a 2.16 kWh portable pack and a 2.24 kWh fixed one, with a 160 km claim, for ₹1,11,996 ex-showroom. Okaya claims 160 km; we would plan around 130 to 155 km in real city use. The rest is basic — a 2.5 kW BLDC hub motor, 70 km/h, drum brakes front and rear with CBS, telescopic front suspension, 12-inch steel wheels on tubeless tyres, a segmented LCD console with no app or navigation, and a 5-6 hour charge with no DC fast charging. You do get LED projector lighting, keyless lock, remote and push-button start, reverse and walk assist, under-seat and front storage, and a 3-year or 30,000 km battery warranty with 3 years on the motor. Best for riders who want range per rupee and can charge at home or carry a battery indoors.
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.
Questions buyers ask
Usually, but not automatically. The result depends on your home electricity price, yearly distance, and the petrol benchmark you compare against. The gap is often larger when you ride more and can charge cheaply at home.
Because the local swap plan and network terms can change the real ownership case more than the battery size alone. The tool gives you a cautious energy-use estimate, but you should still verify the actual city plan before treating it as final.
No. Running cost is only one part of the decision. You should also check whether your charging setup works in real life and compare the scooter against nearby alternatives before you shortlist it.
