Lower cost of ownership

A Battery Electric Vehicle has many benefits, with the cost of ownership over time being lower than Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles. From day one, Electric kWh charging costs are approximately 20% of Diesel fuel costs. Not only are there short term cost savings, you’ll also save in the long term. As they age, diesel trucks cost more to maintain as they require more parts. Electric Trucks, like the Foton T5, have lower maintenance costs and servicing times, ensuring they cost less to maintain over the life of the vehicle.
