Cost Features
Capital Cost Components
MSRP Breakdown: Glider, Fuel Converter, Fuel Storage, Battery, Motor Controller and Power Electronics, Plugin
Purchase or Sales Tax
Purchasing Downpayment: For loan or lease purchasing method
Residual Cost: Salvage value at end of life of vehicle
Operating Cost Components
Fuel Expense : Total cost of fuel or energy consumed
Maintenance Cost
Purchasing Cost: Recurring payments for loan or lease purchasing method
Insurance Cost
Fueling Dwell Labor cost
All operating costs are discounted year over year to account for time value of money
Opportunity Cost Components
Lost Payload Capacity Cost : Cost of fractionally additional advanced powertrain vehicles needed to carry the same payload as a conventional one (only for Class 8)
Fueling/Charging Dwell Time Opportunity Cost : Cost of unproductive dwell time while charging or fueling a vehicle
Maintenance & Repair Downtime Opportunity Cost : Cost of planned and unplanned vehicle downtime due to M&R
All opportunity costs are discounted year over year to account for time value of money
Total Cost of Ownership
Two methods of estimating discounted TCO: 'DIRECT' and 'EFFICIENCY'
Annualized total costs: And
Total cost per mile and levelized cost per mile
Ability to generate individual Ledger and TCO Per Year reports exported as CSV or JSON files
Ability to run multiple Vehicle-Scenario-Energy selections from input files and export results to CSV
Option to run FASTSim simulations for energy calculations
Option to provide exogenous MPGGE and vehicle range inputs instead of running a powertrain simulation
BatchMode to run a folder of drivecycles through FASTSim and generate multiple scenarios per selection
Multiprocessing/Parallelization to reduce runtime for large selections. Can be clubbed with BatchMode to run 1000s of drivecycles on a local machine
Dynamic Wireless Power Transfer - Analyze on-road charging technologies and its impact on cost
Features Roadmap
Charts Module to visualize Ledgers and large sets of T3CO results
Optimization Toolbox to size the future or advanced vehicle parameters for minimizing TCO and other objectives
Labor Cost as an operating cost component
Grants incentives, registration, title, and recurring fees added as Capital and Operating Cost components
Battery replacement and battery degradation accounted for in Operating Costs and Energy calculations
Regionalized fuel, registration, and labor cost inputs
Option to run RouteE for Energy calculations
