Yearly costs for one vehicle at 150 km a day, half payload, diesel at $2.50/L and grid power at 25c/kWh, including depreciation and a $5,000 charger over 5 years. Servicing and insurance are indicative by vehicle type. Prices have different bases. Diesel figures come from public listings and reviews, so check them for your exact model. "Less" means at least 10% less payload. Estimates only, and savings aren’t guaranteed.
Check before you switch
- Does your daily km sit well inside the loaded range?
- Does the payload still work after shelves and fittings?
- Does the vehicle park at your site overnight?
- Can your site supply handle the chargers?
