01 Your operation

Start with the work one vehicle does.

Similar vehiclesSame distance, energy use and costs per vehicle.Vehicle typeDescribes your scenario; it does not set consumption or assess suitability.Distance per vehicle (km)Round numbers and decimals are welcome.Distance entered is perChoose the period you know best.

Working days per weekUsed for daily distance.Working weeks per yearUsed for daily and weekly distance.

02 Energy & charging

Use your prices to see the difference.

Diesel use (L/100 km)Use fuel records for a comparable vehicle on similar work.Electricity use, including charging losses (kWh/100 km)Use electricity drawn from the charger, not just the dashboard battery reading.Diesel price ($/L)Use your actual fuel price.Adjust diesel priceDepot electricity price ($/kWh)Energy charge only; demand charges are excluded.Adjust depot electricity pricePublic charging price ($/kWh)Include any per-kWh network fees in this price.Electricity bought at your depot (%)The rest is bought at the public charging price. Based on kWh, not number of stops.

03 Purchase & maintenance

Make the comparison your own.

Extra cost to buy the electric vehicle ($)Per vehicle: electric purchase price minus comparable diesel purchase price. For example, $220,000 − $120,000 = $100,000. Enter 0 if the electric vehicle costs the same or less.Confirmed vehicle grant offset ($)Per vehicle. Leave at $0 unless a grant is confirmed for your vehicle.

Annual maintenance assumptions

Diesel maintenance ($/year)Per vehicle, using your own service estimates.Electric maintenance ($/year)Per vehicle, using your own service estimates.

Use consistent GST treatment for every price. No tax credit is assumed. The extra purchase cost is separate from annual energy and maintenance costs.

Costs are one part
of the decision.

Payload, usable range, charging access, dwell time and your customer’s requirements need a separate operational assessment.

Your inputs stay in this page until you choose to submit an enquiry below. That submission includes the current scenario so our team can understand your assumptions.

Government programmes have their own eligibility and availability rules. Check the NSW programme’s current status directly.
