10 electric models · cars, bikes and scooters
Every battery-electric model in the MotoSutra catalogue — 10 vehicles with claimed range, battery capacity, charging time and ex-showroom price, from ₹1.15L upward.
An EV decision is four numbers: claimed range, battery capacity, charging time and the on-road gap to the petrol equivalent.

5 models in the catalogue, each with range, battery and charging figures beside the price.

The EV question is not ideological, it is a sum: per-kilometre cost from the battery and the pump, the discount between claimed and real range, the charge-point you actually own, and the purchase premium that has to be eaten by the savings. Here is the working, using figures our catalogue records.
