Around ₹140 of electricity fills the Comet EV's 17.3 kWh battery at home tariffs (indicative), and that buys a claimed 230 km — call it 60 paise per km. On running cost it embarrasses every petrol car in the city, and its second economy trick is space efficiency: at 2,974 mm long on a 2,010 mm wheelbase, it occupies about a metre less road than a regular hatchback, which in Mumbai or Bengaluru parking terms is worth real money and real time daily.
Around ₹140 of electricity fills the Comet EV's 17.3 kWh battery at home tariffs (indicative), and that buys a claimed 230 km — call it 60 paise per km.

The trade-offs are equally blunt. Four seats, not five. A 43 PS motor — 5.5 PS per lakh, the lowest in its price band — that tops out happy at city speeds. And at ₹7.8-10.07 lakh it costs more than the Tata Tiago EV (from ₹6.99 lakh), which carries five people 285 claimed km. What the Comet counters with is character and cabin tech: a 10.25-inch digital cluster on upper trims, leatherette upholstery, keyless entry and a tall 1,640 mm body that seats four adults more comfortably than its footprint suggests. Six variants keep the walk-up gentle.

Comet EV vs Tata Tiago EV: From ₹6.99 lakh with five seats and 285 km claimed range — more car for less money, minus the Comet's parkability See the Tata Tiago EV.
Judge the Comet EV as a city appliance and it scores high: cheapest-to-run four-seater around, absurdly easy to park, and genuinely pleasant inside. Judge it as a car and the Tiago EV beats it on price, seats and range. Buy it with eyes open as a dedicated urban runabout — and if you do, go for one of the upper variants where the 10.25-inch cluster and leatherette lift the cabin to match the concept. As a family's only vehicle, we'd point you elsewhere.
Yes — the 1,640 mm tall body and boxy shape give surprising headroom and upright seating for four. There is no fifth seat, and luggage room with all seats occupied is minimal; the listed 350-litre figure applies with the rear seats folded.
It will do occasional short expressway hops, but with 43 PS and a small 17.3 kWh battery it is engineered for city speeds. Treat it strictly as an urban car.
₹7.8 lakh to ₹10.07 lakh (ex-showroom) across 6 variants, all with the 17.3 kWh battery and 230 km claimed range.
The 17.3 kWh pack is sized for overnight AC charging from a home point — plug in after dinner, leave with a full 230 km claim in the morning. There is no DC fast-charging story here.
Only for its size and character: it is 851 mm shorter, far easier to park, and its cabin tech (10.25-inch cluster, leatherette) feels special. On pure value — seats, range, price — the Tiago EV wins.
