Yamaha Aerox E range and running cost
Certified range 117 km. What it costs per km, per month and over five years.
Certified vs real range
The Aerox E is rated at 117 km (certified IDC range). Treat that as a ceiling: real-world figures are usually 15–25% lower.
Among the 23 electric scooters we have reviewed it ranks 14th for range, 30 km below the group average of 147 km.
Charging at home in Delhi at about ₹7.5/unit, a 3 kWh pack costs roughly ₹25 to fill and works out to about ₹0.21 per km. Riding 30 km a day, that is around ₹165 a month, a fraction of what a petrol scooter costs to run.
Why the gap exists: electric scooter range explained.
Monthly running cost by city
30 km a day, 26 days a month, at each city's current domestic electricity tariff.
Five-year cost of ownership
Base variant bought in Delhi, 30 km a day. Servicing and insurance renewals are typical figures for the class.

Spread over five years and 46,800 km, the Aerox E works out to about ₹7.0 per km all-in, of which 3% is electricity and 90% is the purchase price itself. Resale value is not counted; expect roughly 50–60% of ex-showroom after five years for a well-kept example.
Getting the most range
Range on the Aerox E depends on mode more than anything else. The highest mode can cut range by a third compared with Eco, and sustained speeds above 60 km/h drain the pack quickly because aerodynamic load grows with the square of speed.
Charge to 80% for daily use and only fill to 100% before a long ride; lithium packs age slower that way, and most warranties only replace a battery that falls below 70% of original capacity.
Cold mornings and a heavy pillion both trim range. Budget for the low end of the real-world band in winter and when riding two-up.

- How long does the Aerox E take to charge?
- About 6.2 hours for a full charge from a home socket.
