⚙️ EV Charging Cost Formula (सबसे Important)

$\text{Charging Cost} = \text{Battery Size (kWh)} \times \text{Electricity Rate (₹/unit)}$ Charging Cost=Battery Size (kWh)×Electricity Rate (₹/unit)

🧮 Example: Real EV Charging Calculation

मान लीजिए:

Battery = 40 kWh
Electricity Rate = ₹8/unit

👉 Calculation:

40 × 8 = ₹320 (Full Charge Cost)

👉 Agar range 300 km hai:
👉 ₹320 ÷ 300 = ₹1.06/km
