- How is running cost calculated?
- From the vehicle's own efficiency and a domestic tariff. Charging at home runs roughly ₹1-1.5 per kilometre against ₹6-7 for a comparable petrol vehicle; public DC charging costs several times the home rate, so where you charge changes the figure more than which vehicle you pick.
- How is this cars ranking decided?
- By the vehicle's own specifications, scored for this one job and recomputed whenever those specifications change. It is not an editorial pick, and nobody can pay to appear here.
