You haven’t mentioned your budget. To answer your questions, we recommend charging the battery up to 90 percent at most during DC fast charging. Most manufacturers also advise performing a full slow AC charge cycle after every 3-4 DC fast charge cycles to help balance the battery cells and maintain long-term health.
Even though you’ll rely on public charging, an EV can still be economical if you don’t mind frequent visits to the charging station. You’ll likely spend ₹24-28 per unit, translating to a running cost of about ₹3-4 per km. With around 2,500 km of monthly usage, your savings will still be significant compared to a similar petrol or diesel car.
