i know some times i get criticized on here but i was just wondering what people thought of this 2 x BYD lithium iron battery trucks. To replace 2 Gas trucks. Savings over £7000 per truck per year. ROI in just over 2 years post


this is the question i asked

From what you are saying, the BYD truck is 14,000 more than the lpg truck and a saving of 7,000 per year gives you a ROI of under two years.


The BYD truck will use around 7.4 kWh of electricity per hour. Based on an average price of 0.14 per KWh that's 1.03 per hour. The lpg truck should use around 3kg of gas per hour, based on a average price of 0.5 that's 1.5 per hour. So the difference is 0.47 per hour. So to save 7,000 per year you would have to work for 7,000 hours plus save around 3,000 on service per year
