Frequently asked questions
Which EV showroom in Katihar should I visit first?
Shortlist 2-3 dealers from the list above by Google rating and review count, then call ahead to confirm the exact model you want is in stock for a test drive. Variant availability and on-road pricing change month-to-month in Katihar, so an in-person visit beats a phone-only quote. Ask each dealer for the on-road breakup (ex-showroom + insurance + Bihar road-tax exemption + handling) so you can compare apples-to-apples.
How do I claim EV road-tax exemption in Bihar?
When you buy an electric vehicle in Bihar, the RTO applies the exemption at registration — no separate claim needed. Carry the dealer's invoice, Form 22 (battery declaration), and the EV's homologation certificate. For specifics, see our Bihar state guide.

Entry e-scooters (Ola S1 Air, TVS iQube) start around ₹95k on-road in Katihar; mid-range cars (Tata Tiago EV, MG Comet) sit at ₹8-11 lakh; premium SUVs (Tata Curvv EV, Mahindra BE 6e) run ₹17-25 lakh.

Yes. A standard 15A wall socket charges a scooter overnight; a 3.3kW or 7.2kW AC home charger (₹25k-65k installed) is recommended for EV cars and adds 25-40km of range per hour.
