Was poking around Hyundai's site looking for accessory details and ended up on the Creta Electric page instead. The long range pack is claimed at 510 km, with 10 to 80 percent in about 39 minutes on a DC charger.
That is genuinely tempting for someone who plans Sunday runs out of the city the way I do. Then I think about my SX(O) turbo, which I can fill in five minutes at any pump on NH75 without checking an app first, and I go back to being undecided.
So, a proper club vote. If you were buying today at roughly comparable on road money, Electric or petrol Creta? Tell me your monthly running and whether you have a home charging point, because I suspect that one detail decides the whole argument, especially for those of us in apartments.
Convince me either way. I will keep a tally in the replies.

irfan_nair· 1 week agoArjun, I'm in an apartment too, no dedicated charging point, just a shared society parking. That alone pushes me to petrol. My early morning rides start at odd hours and I don't want to plan around charger queues on the highway. 510 km claimed range is nice on paper but real world city traffic plus AC usually eats into that number fast on any EV. Petrol stays my vote.
