HTK+ 42 kWh costs ₹1,50,000 more than HTK 42 kWh and brings only ₹17,020 of equipment we can put a price on — about 11% of what you pay. Unless you specifically need something in the list below, HTK 42 kWh is the better buy.

We price the equipment that separates these two trims. The rest of the difference pays for things we don't itemise — materials, fit and finish, and the manufacturer's own margin. An upgrade that clears 100% is one where the equipment alone is worth what it costs.
