Ola Electric Roadster on-road price in Chennai
₹1.14 Lakh estimated on-road for the base variant, against ₹1.05 Lakh ex-showroom.
The Ola Electric Roadster costs an estimated ₹1,14,300 on the road in Chennai for the base 3.5 kwh variant. That is ₹9,301 over the ₹1,04,999 ex-showroom price, made up of no road tax (Tamil Nadu exempts electric two-wheelers), ₹1,200 in registration charges and about ₹8,150 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 ₹0.17 per km, or ₹133 a month at 30 km a day.
