Techno-Economic Comparison of Total Cost of Ownership of Electric and Diesel Vehicles

摘要: Despite their low environmental impact, electrical vehicles have penetration in the automotive market. Consumers are reluctant for technical reasons (limited driving range and long charging time) but also an economic reason (high investment costs). Electric vehicle total cost of ownership (TCO) is often perceived as higher than a thermal car, especially Europe where diesel cars lower TCO gasoline cars. Accurate estimations critical, most techno-economic studies electrified based on very simplified energy models. In this paper, model developed using accurate electric car same segment. These models validated by experimental measurements real cycles. then coupled to calculate French case study. The studied equivalent about 1000€ 5-year period. Of particular importance finding that cycles instead standard decreases while simultaneously increasing vehicles. This has implications models, suggesting typical approach uses manufacturer-reported cycle data may be systemically biased towards order understand how change different locations, sensitivity analysis varies factors. Government subsidy, duration, depreciation important factors However, can under wide reasonable inputs.
