CNG vs EV: What’s More Profitable for Last-Mile Delivery in 2025?
In India’s growing logistics space, last-mile delivery is where the real action happens. For businesses and gig workers running cargo fleets, the big question in 2025 is simple:
Should you choose a CNG or an Electric Vehicle (EV)?
Both have their pros—but when it comes to profitability, let’s break down what really matters.
1. Upfront Cost: CNG Is Cheaper
CNG 3-wheelers are still cheaper to buy than EVs—by around 20–30%. This makes them a good option for those starting out.
But with more government support, EV prices are catching up, especially after subsidies and tax benefits.
2. Running Costs: EVs Are More Affordable
Daily running costs are where EVs win big.
- CNG 3-wheeler: ₹2.5–₹3 per km
- EV 3-wheeler: ₹0.8–₹1 per km
Over time, that adds up to big savings—especially for vehicles doing long daily routes.
3. Maintenance: EVs Cost Less
EVs have fewer parts—no engine oil, clutch, or gearbox—so they’re easier and cheaper to maintain.
CNG vehicles still need regular servicing. With EVs, there’s less downtime and more trips.
4. Charging vs Refueling: EVs Are Catching Up
- CNG: is quicker to refuel but harder to find in some areas.
- EV 3-wheeler: ₹0.8–₹1 per km
Charging is becoming easier every month.
5. Range & Load: Pretty Even
- CNG vehicles still have a slight edge on range.
- But the latest EV 3-wheelers carry up to 500 kg and go 100–150 km per charge, which is more than enough for most last-mile needs.
6. Incentives & Easy Financing: EVs Take the Lead
EVs now come with government subsidies, lower taxes, and easy financing options.
