Key Factors to Consider Before Buying

  • CNG Vehicles: Offer up to 45% savings over petrol, but reduce boot storage space and require waiting in queue at CNG pumps. Ideal for monthly running > 1,200 km.
  • Electric Vehicles (EVs): Offer up to 75% savings over petrol with silent driving and smooth acceleration. Best suited if you can install a home AC charger.
  • Petrol Vehicles: Lowest upfront purchase price, widest refueling network, and zero range anxiety; best for low monthly running (< 800 km/month).
