The Mahindra BE 6 is listed at 79.0 kWh with a claimed 682 km. Those two numbers drive everything below, which is arithmetic from Mahindra’s published specification rather than a road test — we do not test vehicles.
| Claimed range | 682 km (Mahindra figure) |
| Realistic range | about 491–546 km |
| Units for a full charge | about 86.9 (79.0 kWh plus charging loss) |
| Cost of a full charge | about ₹695 at ₹8 per unit |
| Running cost | about ₹1.34 per km |
At a realistic 491–546 km, the Mahindra BE 6 is a genuine long-distance vehicle. Most intercity runs from a metro become a drive rather than a plan, which is the point at which range stops being the thing you shop on.
At a claimed 20 minutes on a DC fast charger, the Mahindra BE 6 is among the quickest things on sale in India. On a long drive that is the difference between a coffee break and a meal.
Over 1,000 km in a month the Mahindra BE 6 costs roughly ₹1341 in electricity at ₹8 a unit, against about ₹5000 of petrol for an equivalent car. That is ₹3659 a month and ₹43905 a year. Take the price difference you are actually quoted for the Mahindra BE 6 against the petrol car you would otherwise buy, divide by ₹43905, and you have your own break-even in years — which is a far more useful number than any per-kilometre figure.
Filling the Mahindra BE 6’s 79.0 kWh pack from empty draws about 86.9 units at the meter once charging losses are counted — roughly 26 hours on the 3.3 kW portable charger supplied with most cars, or about 12 hours on a 7.2 kW wallbox. On the Mahindra BE 6 that gap is the practical argument for a wallbox — and all of it assumes you can plug in where you park.
Realistic range applies the 72–80% band set out in how we estimate real-world range, and ₹8 a unit is an assumption rather than your tariff — the calculator takes your own.
