Cost-competitiveness of the electric truck diminishes in drive cycles with higher average speeds. Researchers at Georgia Tech have compared medium-duty (MD) electric and diesel urban delivery trucks in terms of life-cycle energy consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and total cost of ownership (TCO).

They also found that the total costs of ownership (TCO) of the electric and diesel trucks are similar. The first upstream component accounts for indirect energy input for the production and distribution of power generation fuel and the construction, maintenance, decommissioning, and waste disposal of the power plant.

They are quieter, cleaner, have better acceleration, and cost less to keep running because electricity is cheaper than diesel and EVs require less maintenance than their ICE counterparts. All these costs must be factored into achieving TCO targets. and can include penalties for exceeding peak demand limits.

Currently, the cost of recuperators of power systems operating in these conditions is prohibitive. Laser welding micro tubes offers a low-cost approach to fabricating heat exchangers, which will increase the economic competitiveness of sCO 2 power cycles. The waste heat from the device can be harvested for residential heating.
