Argonne study finds BEVs can have lowest scheduled maintenance costs, but highest cost of driving

Green Car Congress

We use vehicles modeled in Autonomie to estimate vehicle costs and fuel economy along with fuel price projections from the Energy Information Administration (EIA), and focus on developing internally consistent estimates for other relevant cost parameters. LCOD across powertrains for light-duty SUV, MY2025. Burnham et al.

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. Hydrogen-powered fuel cell electric vehicles will reach cost parity with conventional vehicles as the price of hydrogen falls. Battery electric vehicles, meanwhile, will reach cost parity as battery prices drop. —David Gohlke.
