TCO Optimization tool

This makes sense. But many TCO calculators and consultants don't account for the labor component accurately, as it is signifcantly related to delivery network design and vehicle routing. In many instances we see that they use averages or historical telematics data that are deeply flawed as inputs to what the real customer-driven fleet requirements are throughout the course of a year. For example, if you have to cover 10,000mi of deliveres from a DC and that would require 10 x 1,000mi rig routes, swapping in 5 BEVs with only a 500 mi range means you need more break and charging time, and potentially more driver shifts.
