I have a 2024 i20 sportz manual, which i got in june 2024, which has done 24000 kms so far, my usual running is 1000km per month The car is good and I am satisfied.

But lately, due to the news about e20+ mixing in petrol, and fuel price hikes, I am planning to switch to an EV. Currently, I have the BE6 Pack one above variant in mind which has 59kwh battery and will coat me around 22L on road in bangalore.

Here is my background:

I am a software engineer from a village in karnataka. I go to office every week for 2 days and return back to my village. In my village I have a farmhouse, and the nearest tier 3 city is 3 kms away. There are 3 to 4 60kw chargers in my hometown city.

Every 2 weeks I take my car to bangalore and this trip is around 170kms one way. So around 350 to 400 kms for the entire trip. I also do long trips occasionally.

My questions are,

1. Is an EV justified for my use case?

2. Can this be my only car? I am planning to exchange my i20.

3. Is 59kwh enough?

4. What are the gotchas that I need to keep in mind?

I am planning to buy in December, please help me with this.

Thanks in advance

I have a 2024 i20 sportz that I got in june 2024 and it has ran 24000+ kms so far, my monthly running is 1000+ kms.

But lately, due to the news about e20+ mixing in petrol, and fuel price hikes, I am planning to switch to an EV. Currently, I have the BE6 Pack one above variant in mind which has 59kwh battery and will cost me around 22L on road in bangalore.

Here is my financial background:

- I earn 2L per month post tax

- one personal loan, 11808 per month, 4L remaining

- car loan, 3L remaining, 15283 per month

- daily expenses for me come to 12k per month

- 15k for parents per month

Everything else goes into savings, I have a good emergency fund and I also have some amount in FD, RD, equity and a sizeable investment in gold.

My questions are,

1. Is this upgrade justified? Is this a good idea?

2. Can this be my only car? I am planning to exchange my i20.

I am planning to buy in December, please help me with this.
