Simple Energy One Gen 2 On-Road Price in Kolkata - Full Breakdown
The on-road price of Simple Energy One Gen 2 in Kolkata, West Bengal is ₹2,09,466. This is the total amount you'll pay to drive out of the showroom - here's exactly what goes into that number.
Ex-showroom price: ₹1,83,992 This is the manufacturer's base price before any state-specific taxes or charges. It's the price you'll see advertised most often, but it's not what you'll actually pay.
Road Tax (RTO): ₹12,879 (7% of ex-showroom) West Bengal's road tax for electric two-wheelers is calculated at 7% of the ex-showroom price. Electric vehicles attract lower road tax than petrol scooters in most Indian states - a meaningful saving over the lifetime of ownership. In Kolkata, this works out to ₹12,879.
Insurance: ₹9,095 First-year insurance is mandatory and covers both third-party (legally required) at ₹3,851 and own-damage at ₹5,244. Post the first year, you can choose to renew only third-party coverage (much cheaper) or maintain comprehensive cover - the latter is recommended given the battery replacement cost if the scooter is totalled.
Dealer / Handling Charges: ₹3,500 Dealers typically charge a fixed handling and logistics fee of ₹3,500. This is standard practice across brands.
Total On-Road Price in Kolkata: ₹2,09,466
With zero-emission benefits, the Simple Energy One Gen 2 avoids the higher road tax slabs that apply to ICE scooters in West Bengal, making the effective tax burden considerably lighter. Running costs also favour EVs heavily - charging the Simple Energy One Gen 2 from empty costs roughly Rs 30-40 in Kolkata at home electricity rates, versus Rs 150-200 for a full tank on a comparable petrol scooter.

A few things worth knowing before you visit a showroom in Kolkata. First, the ₹2,09,466 figure assumes standard first-year insurance - you can shop around for better rates through aggregators like PolicyBazaar or InsuranceDekho, which can sometimes save Rs 1,500-2,000 on the own-damage premium. Second, dealer handling charges of ₹3,500 are often negotiable, especially if you're paying cash or using the dealership's financing partner. Third, check whether West Bengal offers any additional EV subsidy beyond what's factored into the ex-showroom price - state-level incentives can sometimes reduce the effective price by Rs 5,000-15,000. Finally, factor in home charging setup costs of around Rs 5,000-8,000 if you need a dedicated 15A socket installed.
