Electric Truck Fleet Charging Cost Calculator

Monthly charging cost, per-vehicle and per-km energy cost for a electric truck fleet on Indian ToU tariffs.

A 10-truck e-fleet pulling 350 kWh each per night is a 2.4 MW peak if unmanaged โ€” load management isn't optional at truck scale, it's the difference between a feeder and a substation. This calculator blends your peak/normal/off-peak charging shares into an effective โ‚น/kWh, then rolls it up to monthly fleet cost and energy cost per km โ€” the number regional-haul trucking operators quote against diesel.

Blended rate = ฮฃ(share ร— window rate). The savings lever is the off-peak share โ€” every 10 points shifted from normal to off-peak hours cuts the bill by the spread between those windows. Demand charges are separate; see the demand-charge tool.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to charge an electric fleet?+

Fleet energy (vehicles ร— kWh/day ร— days) priced at your blended tariff. The blend is the lever: the same fleet costs 30โ€“50% less charged off-peak than at evening-peak rates. This calculator computes the blend from your window shares so the bill stops being a surprise.

What is energy cost per km for EVs versus diesel?+

EV: Wh/km ร— tariff รท 1000 โ€” typically โ‚น0.8โ€“1.5/km for cars and LCVs on off-peak power. Diesel equivalents run โ‚น4โ€“8/km. The 3โ€“6ร— gap is the electrification business case; this tool gives your fleet's exact figure for the board deck.

Should fleet charging avoid peak hours entirely?+

Almost: peak-window rates run 30โ€“80% above off-peak, so every kWh moved out of peak is pure savings with zero hardware. Keep a small peak allowance for operational top-ups, and let the scheduler tool check whether your full fleet physically fits in the cheap window.

Do demand charges appear in the Electric Truck Fleet Charging Cost Calculator?+

No โ€” they're a separate billing line based on your peak kVA, covered by the dedicated demand-charge tools. Energy (this tool) plus demand (that one) gives the full bill picture; for DC-fast-charging depots the demand line can be the bigger of the two.
