Since your annual usage is so low, and all within the city, an electric car makes a lot of sense, both from the point of view of tax savings and due to much lower running costs. However, our advice is not to rely on the public charging network alone, and instead ensure you have a charger installed at your home or place of work, if not both. If you do have to make an occasional outstation trip, plan carefully and pick a route with multiple public chargers along the way, topping up in small amounts as you go.As for which car you should choose, there are plenty of options. If you want the best all-rounder with maximum efficiency, get the Hyundai Creta Electric. If you require more space, the Kia Carens Clavis EV is a great option. If you want ultimate value for money, try the Vinfast VF7. And if you want a dramatic and exciting EV with some compromises to practicality, check out the Mahindra BE 6.

It's hard to pinpoint a car without knowing a few more specifics, like your requirements for rear seat space, features, engine performance, etc. However, based on what you have shared, we would recommend the Hyundai Venue. Since you are a first-time car buyer, you will find the size-to-space ratio quite good. The Venue measures under 4 meters in length, and so it's easily manageable in crowded streets, and the space inside is quite good. Since your running is high, we would recommend you buy the diesel option, besides efficiency the engine also delivers a good balance of performance and refinement.

Since you are a beginner rider, getting a bike that is approachable and easy to live with would be our recommendation. Bikes like the Yamaha MT-15 and Honda Hornet 2.0 - both in your shortlist - will offer approachable performance and weight while being quite fuel efficient too. The Bajaj Dominar 400 - while a sorted bike in its own right - is a heavy machine, which will get quite tiring to manage at slow speeds for a newer rider. Instead, we'd recommend you take a look at the Bajaj Pulsar NS400Z, which offers more performance and features while being significantly lighter.In case you decide that the power and relatively low fuel economy of a 400cc bike isn't for you, but you still don't want to go below 200cc and want something sharp-looking, we'd recommend taking a look at the Bajaj Pulsar N250 and Pulsar NS200. The N250 is a refined, smooth all-rounder, while the NS200 is an engaging and sporty machine. A test ride should help you make a more informed decision.

If your daily running is going to be quite less and infrequent, then getting a petrol-powered scooter will make more sense than an electric scooter. In this space, our top recommendations are the TVS Jupiter models, Suzuki Access and the Honda Activa models. To see which one suits your needs best, we'd recommend taking a test ride of all these machines. However, if you do decide to get an electric scooter, we'd advise you to get one of the lower variants of the Bajaj Chetak or the TVS iQube. These will have more than sufficient range for your short daily runs and will also be closer in price to an ICE scooter, thereby reducing the upfront cost you need to pay. In time, you should recoup that additional investment with the EV's lower running costs.
