If fleet electrification is to compete on equal terms with the classic internal combustion engine, it will need more than the right economic parameters such as the cost of purchasing and operation. When it comes to operating costs (total cost of ownership), the eVito stands on an equal footing with the diesel-powered Vito.

What Californians pay is much higher than the true marginal cost of using electricity. This puts an unnecessary cost burden on low- and middle-income households as we transition to using clean electricity. These households are increasingly responsible for covering high fixed costs as total consumption from the grid declines.
