What the Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu rules say
Charging at home. The tariff order says that charging your own EV at home uses the tariff of your home. The text: “(ii) In case the consumer uses the electricity supply for charging his own electric vehicle at his premises, the tariff applicable shall be as per the category of such premises.” (JERC Tariff Order, Petition No. 145 of 2025, DNHDDPDCL (25-09-2025), printed p.231).
A separate EV connection. We did not find a rule in the order that gives a home its own EV connection. The EV rate in the order is for charging stations.
Time of day. For homes with a smart meter. 08–16 h 80%, 18–02 h 120%. (JERC Tariff Order, Petition No. 145 of 2025, DNHDDPDCL (25-09-2025).) We apply it to the EV units only.
How we work it out
- We price your bill twice: with your present units, and with the EV units added. The difference is the cost of the EV.
- EV units = km × energy use per km, plus the charging loss.
- The energy use comes from the maker’s battery size and certified range (IDC for scooters, MIDC or ARAI for cars). These ranges are tests, so real use is higher.
- The 10% charging loss is our assumption. You can change it.
- Petrol cost = km ÷ mileage × price. The mileage is the maker’s claimed figure.
