Some say 20 paise, some say 30. Next to a petrol scooter&rsquo;s ₹2 or more per km, it looks like the argument is over before it starts.</p> <p>That number is not a lie exactly. It is just the electricity bill, and the electricity bill is the smallest part of what an electric scooter costs you to run. Nobody selling you one counts the battery, and the battery is the single most expensive part on the vehicle. When it needs replacing, that is ₹45,000 to ₹1,20,000 depending on the model.</p>
