The TVS iQube charger price question has a simple answer: TVS bundles a portable charger with the scooter, and I found no separate price for a fast charger. The charger plugs into a standard 15A socket. This guide explains charging time by battery size, the cost per charge, public charging options and tips for safe charging.
Key Takeaways
- A portable charger is included with every iQube; no separate price is listed.
- It plugs into a standard 15A socket.
- TVS quotes less than 5 hours for 0-80%.
- Full-charge times range from about 2 h 45 min to 6 h 50 min by battery size.
- TVS says its network covers 2,000+ charging locations; no official fast charger was found.
TVS iQube Charger Price
TVS supplies a portable charger with the scooter, so buyers do not pay extra for the standard charger. In addition, A replacement or spare charger would be sold through TVS service centres, and I found no public price for it. Therefore, ask your dealer for the current spare charger price. Reported scooter prices also vary, with a TVS page showing an effective starting price near Rs 95,124 with PM E-DRIVE applied, while a May listing showed Rs 1.11 lakh ex-showroom for the 2.2 kWh iQube. Meanwhile, see our TVS iQube ST price guide for the full price list.
iQube Charging Time by Battery
TVS publishes charging times for each model. Notably, the smallest battery fills in about 2 hours 45 minutes, and the largest 5.3 kWh pack takes about 6 hours 50 minutes for a full charge. Importantly, the main TVS page quotes less than 5 hours for 0-80% and an automatic cut-off at 100%.
| Battery | Approx. full-charge time (reported) |
|---|---|
| Smallest pack (2.2-2.3 kWh) | About 2 h 45 min |
| Mid packs (3.1-3.5 kWh) | Between about 3 and 5 hours |
| Largest pack (5.3 kWh) | About 6 h 50 min |
Battery size for the entry model appears as 2.2 kWh in some listings and 2.3 kWh in others, so confirm the pack at purchase.
Cost of Charging an iQube
Charging costs depend on your electricity rate. Likewise, at Rs 8 per unit, a 3.5 kWh pack costs about Rs 28 and a 5.3 kWh pack costs about Rs 42 for a full charge.
| Battery | Cost at Rs 6/unit | Cost at Rs 8/unit | Cost at Rs 10/unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.2 kWh | Rs 13 | Rs 18 | Rs 22 |
| 3.5 kWh | Rs 21 | Rs 28 | Rs 35 |
| 5.3 kWh | Rs 32 | Rs 42 | Rs 53 |
These are simple calculations without charging losses, so real cost runs slightly higher. Beyond that, see EV charging rates for current tariffs.
Home Charging: What You Need
The portable charger works on a standard 15A socket, so most homes need no special wiring. However, use a proper socket with a good earth, avoid extension cords and keep the plug dry. In addition, charging overnight suits the battery sizes above. For a scooter that lives in a building, ask the society about a dedicated socket.
Public and Fast Charging
I found no official fast-charging option for the iQube. On top of that, TVS says its network covers 2,000+ charging locations across India, which helps top-ups. Because charging speed on public points is modest, plan long trips with stops. Read our connector types guide to understand plugs, and charging station franchise cost to see how networks grow.
Safe Charging Tips
A few habits protect the battery and charger.
| Tip | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Use only the supplied or approved charger | Wrong chargers can damage the battery |
| Charge in a dry, ventilated place | Reduces heat and moisture risk |
| Avoid leaving the scooter at 0% for days | Slows battery ageing |
| Unplug after charging is complete | Prevents idle power draw and wear |
| Inspect the cable and plug regularly | Catches damage early |
iQube vs Other Scooters on Charging
Compare with the Ather 450X, the Bajaj Chetak and the Ola S1 Pro. Equally, most scooters use similar portable chargers, so charging time depends mainly on battery size.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Charging mistakes are easy to avoid.
- Do not buy a cheap third-party charger to save money.
- Do not charge the scooter on an overloaded extension board.
- Do not ignore a warm plug or a burning smell.
- Do not assume every public charger supports your scooter.
