The hotels in Manali provided a socket for 3Kw charger and we charged there for 2 days and roamed around the city (120 Km each day).

Long road trip review of my Creta EV:
Did a trip from Delhi to Manali and visited nearby cities.
Overall Metrics:
- Total Distance: 1338 km
- Overall Energy Efficiency: 8.9 km/kWh (includes energy consumed during approximately 2-3 hours of sleeping with AC on).
- Total Charging Cost: Rs.1706
Started from Faridabad late at night around 1AM with 100% SOC
- Reached Karnal (164Km) at around 4AM with 79% battery left. Since were feeling sleepy, topped 10% for Rs.85 on AC charger while we took a nap.
- Slept for a few hours.
- Reached Mohali (119km) around 8:30 AM and topped up for Rs.410. Don’t remember the SOC here. Had breakfast.
- Reached Sundar Nagar (244) km at around 1:30 PM with 39% battery and recharged to 97% for a total of Rs.734 .
This was done as from here on hills would start and we didn’t know yet how the car fares on elevation. Also had lunch here.
Reached Manali (129km) with around 65% battery left. Don’t quote me here for exact figure as I don’t remember , we had juiced up enough to not care. But Manali roads are so developed that our expectation of worst case of 2km for 1% was easily beat.
In total drove 571Km for the day.
The hotels in Manali provided a socket for 3Kw charger and we charged there for 2 days and roamed around the city (120 Km each day).
Coming back
- Using the 3Kw charger charged to 78% and started the journey back.
- Reached Samalki (318 Km) with 11% battery. Topped up to 70% for Rs.477. Had lunch.
- Reached home (218 Km) with 15% remaining.
Coming back we were more comfortable with the car and its range and hence the reason for minimal charging stops.
