The Simple One is listed at 5.0 kWh with a claimed 248 km. Those two numbers drive everything below, which is arithmetic from Simple Energy’s published specification rather than a road test — we do not test vehicles.
| Claimed range | 248 km (Simple Energy figure) |
| Realistic range | about 179–198 km |
| Units for a full charge | about 5.5 (5.0 kWh plus charging loss) |
| Cost of a full charge | about ₹44 at ₹8 per unit |
| Running cost | about ₹0.23 per km |
At 179–198 km of usable range, the Simple One sits comfortably inside daily use without any thought, and handles most weekend trips with a single charging stop.
The Simple One charges from an ordinary domestic socket rather than a DC fast charger, so the number worth asking about is overnight charging time, not a fast-charge rating.
Over 1,000 km in a month the Simple One costs roughly ₹233 in electricity at ₹8 a unit, against about ₹2100 of petrol for an equivalent scooter. That is ₹1867 a month and ₹22399 a year. Take the price difference you are actually quoted for the Simple One against the petrol car you would otherwise buy, divide by ₹22399, and you have your own break-even in years — which is a far more useful number than any per-kilometre figure.
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.
