Save upto 90% of your petrol cost by riding Electric bike

To calculate the petrol cost of a scooter in India for riding 10,000 km and compare it with the riding cost of a Benling electric scooter with a 3 kWh battery capacity, we'll use the provided data and some assumptions based on typical values.

### Petrol Scooter Cost Calculation

Given:

- Mileage of the petrol scooter: 40 km/l

- Petrol price per liter in India: ₹100 (assuming an average price)

The formula to calculate the fuel cost is:

$$ \text{Fuel Cost} = \frac{\text{Total Distance}}{\text{Mileage}} \times \text{Fuel Price per Liter} $$

$$ \text{Fuel Cost for 10,000 km} = \frac{10,000}{40} \times 100 $$

$$ \text{Fuel Cost for 10,000 km} = 250 \times 100 $$

$$ \text{Fuel Cost for 10,000 km} = ₹25,000 $$

### Benling Electric Scooter Cost Calculation

For the Benling electric scooter with a 3 kWh battery capacity, the cost per charge and the total cost for 10,000 km will be calculated based on the cost of electricity and the scooter's range per charge.

Given:

- Electricity cost per unit in India: ₹4.5 (as per the Delhi government's flat rate for low-tension charging of electric vehicles)[1].

- Battery capacity: 3 kWh

- Range per charge: Assuming an average of 140 km per charge for simplicity, as specific data for Benling is not provided.

The cost per charge is:

$$ \text{Cost per Charge} = \text{Battery Capacity} \times \text{Electricity Cost per Unit} $$

$$ \text{Cost per Charge} = 3 \times 4.5 $$

$$ \text{Cost per Charge} = ₹13.5 $$

To cover 10,000 km, the number of charges needed would be:

$$ \text{Number of Charges} = \frac{10,000}{140} \approx 71.43 $$

Thus, the total electricity cost for 10,000 km would be:

$$ \text{Total Electricity Cost} = \text{Number of Charges} \times \text{Cost per Charge} $$

$$ \text{Total Electricity Cost} = 71.43 \times 13.5 $$

$$ \text{Total Electricity Cost} = ₹963.30 $$

### Comparison

- **Petrol Scooter Cost for 10,000 km**: ₹25,000

- **Benling Electric Scooter Cost for 10,000 km**: ₹963.30

The comparison clearly shows that the Benling electric scooter is significantly more cost-effective for riding 10,000 km in India compared to a petrol scooter. The savings are substantial, primarily due to the lower cost of electricity compared to petrol. This analysis does not take into account the potential maintenance savings and other benefits of electric scooters, which could further enhance the cost advantages.
