The present worth (PW) of Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for electric bus A (with 1 extra battery and 2 normal chargers) is
8.44 SEK per km, and 10.56 SEK per km for electric bus B (with 1 extra battery and 2 fast chargers). The result suggests that the electric bus A would be more preferable in term of cost effectiveness since the normal chargers are cheaper and allows a longer battery life. This might be a good solution for a city or suburb where a fully charged electric bus can be available as a back-up after a bus has been driving for 200-300km. Electric bus B could be an intermediate solution for a city that run on tight schedule since it charges within 10 minutes. This study aims to make previous study more credible by showing the ¨what if’ analysis of the
most influential individual parameters to be considered in the TCO for an electric bus. This is supported with findings such as:
