Ather Energy 450X on-road price in Chennai
₹1.47 Lakh estimated on-road for the base variant, against ₹1.4 Lakh ex-showroom.
The Ather Energy 450X costs an estimated ₹1,47,000 on the road in Chennai for the base 2.9 kWh variant. That is ₹7,000 over the ₹1,40,000 ex-showroom price, made up of no road tax (Tamil Nadu exempts electric two-wheelers), ₹1,200 in registration charges and about ₹5,793 in first-year insurance.
That is ₹100 more than in Delhi, almost entirely because of the difference in state road tax.
Charging at Chennai's domestic tariff of about ₹6.5/unit, running cost is roughly ₹0.19 per km, or ₹150 a month at 30 km a day.
