EV TCO Calculator

What does electrification
actually cost your fleet?

Select the vehicle classes and duty cycles you operate. We'll show you the 5-year TCO comparison, segment-by-segment transition verdicts, and your CARB penalty exposure.

Configure your fleet

Work through the steps below to model your transition.

Step 1 — Which vehicle classes do you operate?
Step 2 — Which duty cycles apply?
Step 3 — Vehicles per segment

Enter the number of vehicles and average annual miles for each active segment.

How we calculate this

We compare 5-year total cost of ownership per segment: vehicle purchase, fuel/energy, and maintenance. EV maintenance is modeled at 50% of diesel. HVIP incentives are applied at the fleet level using 2026 per-class voucher amounts (Class 6 $85K, Class 7 $110K, Class 8 $120K, Class 8 drayage $150K) capped at the annual voucher limit (30 standard / 50 drayage·refuse·transit) over your transition phasing window; for fleets ≥ 500 vehicles, only purchases beyond the first 30 ZEVs are HVIP-eligible. IRA Section 45W federal commercial EV credit was repealed September 30, 2025 (Public Law 119-21) and is excluded. CARB penalty exposure is applied as a fleet-wide annual risk on the diesel scenario. Infrastructure costs are not included — those depend on your facility and are assessed in our scoping engagement.
