Running Cost vs. Diesel Pickup
If charged at home nightly (available for urban owners), the Shark 6 can operate almost entirely on electricity for daily commutes under 100 km. At Rs. 30–50/kWh (home electricity tariff), the cost per km on electric is Rs. 1.5–2.5 — vs. Rs. 30–35/km on diesel at current fuel prices. This represents a saving of Rs. 28–33 per km, dramatically reducing running costs for high-mileage users.
For those without charging infrastructure, the Shark 6 still delivers competitive fuel economy in hybrid mode at approximately 12–15 km/l on petrol. To understand the broader EV landscape, read our electric cars guide.
