NREL’s free analysis tool helps fleets calculate TCO for EVs
Commercial vehicle fleets will electrify sooner or later—the savings from lower maintenance and energy costs are substantial, and growing. However, the math behind a transition to EVs can be quite complicated. EVs are less standardized than diesel vehicles, and their total cost of ownership (TCO) can vary based on a wide array of factors, from… Read more »
