Topic Discussed : TCO Analysis and Case for Electric Trucks in North America, 2017–2030
Speakers : Saideep Sudhakar
Key Takeaways :
1) Comparison of breakeven points for different applications shows that refuse and yard trucks might yield the maximum benefits of electrification, disregarding subsidies
2) The TCO of diesel trucks is expected to increase in the long term owing to rising diesel prices, the need for newer technologies that aid compliance with emission regulations, and increased repair and maintenance requirements
3) Batteries currently account for 50% of the total costs of an electric truck; decrease in battery prices below $100 per kWh by 2024-25 will propel electrification
