Hyundai Creta Electric: which battery to buy
The Hyundai Creta Electric is sold with 2 battery packs. A battery is not equipment, so we never score one pack against another as a trim upgrade. Below is what each pack costs to get into, and — on trims sold with both — what the bigger one costs and how much certified range it adds.
Each battery pack

What the Hyundai Creta Electric costs to run
Type the per-unit (₹/kWh) rate from your electricity bill. We do not hold a tariff for your state, so nothing is worked out until you do. The figure per km is each pack's capacity divided by its certified range — a laboratory figure, and charging loses some energy too, so real running costs will be higher.
| Pack | kWh per 100 km | Per km | Per month |

| 42 kWh | 10.0 | — | — |
| 51.4 kWh | 10.1 | — | — |

Every row uses the MIDC P1+P2 certified range.
