Which is cheaper to own over 5 years?
Both EVs run at roughly ₹1.0–1.5/km, so the 5-year ownership gap is driven by sticker price and depreciation. The Tata Nexon EV is ~₹127.41L cheaper to start, which typically translates to ₹1.2–1.5L lower 5-year TCO. Use the TCO calculator for your exact variant.
