Georgia Tech life-cycle study finds TCO of medium-duty electric and diesel delivery trucks similar; electric life-cycle energy use and GHG lower than diesel

Green Car Congress

JULY 6, 2013

Monte Carlo simulation results for different drive cycles (as a proxy for fuel economy), operational ranges (64 or 80 km; 40 or 50 miles), EVSE Level 1 or 2, and battery replacement (0 or 1) scenarios. The relative TCO is most sensitive to the diesel truck’s fuel consumption (or fuel economy), VKT, and diesel fuel price scenario.

OCTOBER 31, 2014

California, Georgia, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington—have electric vehicle sales shares that are approximately 2–4 times the national average. The current study does not include how technology costs could decline with battery innovation, greater mass-market economies of scale, or other technical factors.

That is more than 250 times the amount of natural gas used in the United States in 2013. Hydrates have the potential to contribute to long-term energy supplies within the United States as well as abroad; many large global economies that lack clean and secure energy supplies have potentially enormous hydrate resources.

Ford introduced a MyEnergi Lifestyle collaboration for the US in 2013, working with Whirlpool, SunPower and Eaton. In the US, MyEnergi Lifestyle pilot projects in California and Colorado each resulted in energy cost savings of about 60% and CO 2 emissions reductions of more than 55%. 35% reduction of PM 10. 38% reduction of NO x.
