The electric truck is relatively more cost-effective on the NYCC and when VKT demand is higher. Cost-competitiveness of the electric truck diminishes in drive cycles with higher average speeds. One surprise among their findings was that the electric truck had cost advantages over the diesel vehicle under some conditions.

They also found that the total costs of ownership (TCO) of the electric and diesel trucks are similar. However, the cost-competitiveness of the electric truck diminishes in drive cycles with higher average speed.

billion in loan guarantees for the construction and operation of two new nuclear reactors at a plant in Burke, Georgia. But energy leaders and experts recognize that as long as producing carbon pollution carries no cost, traditional plants that use fossil fuels will be more cost-effective than plants that use nuclear fuel.
