What the Mizoram rules say
Charging at home. The tariff order says that charging your own EV at home uses the tariff of your home. The text: “Note-2 : Consumers can charge their Own Electric Vehicles (for personal usage) at their respective house/residence, paying the charge applicable to the consumer category he/she belongs to.” (MZERC Tariff Order FY 2026-27 for P&ED Mizoram (25-03-2026), Appendix Tariff Schedule, Tariff Schedule 2.9, printed p.247 (pdf p.259)).
A separate EV connection. LT-9 is for a separate connection used only to charge EVs, two-wheelers to cars. The order does not limit it to public stations. Rates: Rs 7.26 a unit, no fixed charge. (MZERC Tariff Order FY 2026-27 for P&ED Mizoram (25-03-2026), Appendix Tariff Schedule, Tariff Schedule 2.9, printed p.246-247.)
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.
