This blog explains in simple words why petrol scooters are no longer affordable, how OPG EV scooters cut down running costs by 80–90%, and why waiting to switch will only burn more money.
Petrol at ₹100/Litre: The Hidden Drain
Let’s calculate daily fuel cost for a regular scooter rider:
A petrol scooter gives about 40–45 km per litre in city riding.
If you ride 40–50 km daily, you burn around 1–1.2 litres per day. At ₹100 per litre, that’s ₹100–₹120 every single day.
Now let’s stretch this:
Monthly cost: ₹3,000–₹3,600
Yearly cost: ₹36,000–₹43,200
This is just fuel. Add service and maintenance, and the yearly spend goes way higher.
OPG EV: The Cost Saver
Now, the electric side:
Charging an OPG EV costs ₹30–₹40 for a full charge.
One full charge gives 80–120 km range.
So, per km cost = less than ₹1/km.
If you ride 50 km per day:
Daily cost: ₹35–₹40
Monthly cost: ₹1,000–₹1,200
Yearly cost: ₹12,000–₹15,000
That’s less than half (actually 1/3rd) of petrol costs — even when petrol is “only” ₹100.

Complete Cost Comparison Analysis
| Vehicle Type | Daily Cost (₹) | Monthly Cost (₹) | Yearly Cost (₹) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol Scooter | ₹100–120 | ₹3,000–3,600 | ₹36,000–43,200 | Rising fuel prices + high maintenance costs |
| OPG EV Scooter | ₹35–40 | ₹1,000–1,200 | ₹12,000–15,000 | Lowest operating cost, minimal maintenance required |
💰 Annual Savings with OPG EV
₹24,000 – ₹28,000
That's enough to pay for your EV in just 2-3 years!
The Cost of Waiting
Most people say: “I’ll buy an EV next year, let me use my petrol scooter for now.” But waiting = losing. Here’s why: Every year you delay, you burn ₹36,000–₹43,000 on fuel. Add maintenance (₹4,000–₹8,000), total yearly spend crosses ₹50,000.
In just 2–3 years, this money is equal to the price of a brand-new OPG EV. So by waiting, you are literally paying for your scooter twice.
Maintenance: Petrol Scooter vs OPG EV
Petrol Scooter Oil changes every 2,000 km. Spark plugs. Carburetor cleaning. Clutch and gearbox issues. Yearly spend = ₹4,000–₹8,000. OPG EV
No oil.
No gears.
No engine problems.
Just simple service checks and brake pad replacements.
Yearly spend = ₹1,000–₹2,000. Result? 80% less maintenance cost.
Petrol Price Stability is a Myth
Some riders think: “Petrol is at ₹100 now, maybe it won’t rise.” But history shows us otherwise:
2015: ~₹60/litre
2020: ~₹70/litre
2023: ~₹95/litre
2025: ~₹100+ (in many cities already higher)
Prices only go up. EV charging cost? Still stable, predictable, and much lower. With an OPG EV, you lock your ride expenses at the lowest rate possible.

The Real Numbers — Crystal Clear
Let’s add it up:
Petrol scooter yearly running cost = ₹36,000–₹43,000 (fuel) + ₹4,000–₹8,000 (service) = ₹40,000–₹50,000.
OPG EV yearly running cost = ₹12,000–₹15,000 (charging) + ₹1,000–₹2,000 (service) = ₹13,000–₹17,000.
Savings every year = ₹25,000–₹35,000.
