DOE labs study on costs and benefits of new transportation technologies the most comprehensive to date

Green Car Congress

Levelized cost of driving (LCOD) across powertrains for light-duty SUV, MY 2025. They are newer to the road, so it was hard to know, for instance, their historic needs for maintenance over their operational life. The study finds, for example, that battery electric vehicles have maintenance costs 40% lower than ICE vehicles.
