Diesel vs Electric Truck TCO Calculator
Compare the economics of diesel and battery-electric trucks from three angles: a fast ownership check, a decision-ready single-truck model, or a fleet-level electrification case with depot charging and route-fit constraints.

Residual value & operational fit
Why the fit gate mattersAn electric truck can look attractive on TCO and still be the wrong operational fit if the entered duty cycle exceeds usable battery energy or cannot be recharged inside the available window. This model checks economics and basic energy fit separately.

Four duty-cycle groups
Advanced logicEach group has its own mileage, diesel efficiency, electric energy consumption, battery and operating days. Fleet TCO shares charging infrastructure across all electric trucks and separately checks average daily battery fit plus depot charging-energy capacity.

Scope
Use local rates and real duty-cycle data
Electric-truck economics can change materially with utility tariffs, demand charges, charger utilization, site upgrades, public-charging use, incentives, payload, weather, route grade, battery degradation and resale value. This calculator is a planning model, not an OEM range guarantee, utility quote, tax determination or incentive-eligibility determination. Enter current local assumptions and validate infrastructure requirements with the utility, charger provider and vehicle OEM.
