- There is a restaurant called - The Kadamba Veg for quick chai.

Time
If you use a petrol car, you would spend 3 hours 25 minutes driving and take a break of 20 min = 3 hours 45 min to reach Mysuru
If you use an electric car car, you would spend 3 hours 30 min driving and take 20 min for charging the car and yourself. Total time is = 3 hours 50 min
The additional time in an electric car is just 5 mins compared to an ICE car, which is fantastic.
Costs
If you use a petrol car, the petrol costs would be around Rs 1100. If you use an electric car, the charging costs would be around Rs 230. Massive savings of Rs 870
Mobile Apps
The only mobile apps you will need for this journey are the Tata Power, EV Mithra, Zeon Charging, Plugshare
Slow Charging
There are multiple slow charging locations on the highway. Use the Plugshare app to find out.
So guys, there you have it! Bengaluru-Mysuru highway is electrified!
We also hope Tata Power install more points on this highway, that way EV owners will have adequate backup points during the journey.
