A new study published by US Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory offers the most complete understanding yet of the costs of owning and operating a vehicle, and how those costs vary by powertrain, from the conventional to the cutting-edge. Overall, hybrid electric vehicles tend to be the lowest-cost powertrain.

The decisive factor for the switch to battery-electric vehicles is the energy cost advantage compared to hydrogen and diesel. They exceed the purchase costs many times over. The better the vehicles are utilized, the more intensively, longer and more regularly they are used, the greater the energy cost advantage of e-trucks becomes.
