Cost of ownership calculator

I run nine large (long & high) support vans at work and they're approaching replacement time.

Replacement diesel vans will cost £30-40k each depending on prevailing deals. Similar e-vans will cost c.£65k.

Is there an online calculator (or someone's nerdy Excel sheet) which will allow me to compare the two purchases, with respect to the appropriate asset, fuel and maintenance costs?

My directors just see a 50% uplift in initial cost and I want to demonstrate that there's more to it than that.

I think it's really interesting that in trying to be helpful, you've all been almost universally unhelpful and that shows just how difficult it is for people to make objective purchasing decisions.

Within the realm of commercial vehicles especially, where objective decision-making is, arguably, even more important than with private purchases, I really would have expected a reasonably rigorous resource to have been available.

I don't have even basic data for the e-vans though.

e.g. cost to recharge and how many miles I'd typically get from a charge.


And how many miles between oil changes
