The Economic Benefit of Electric Taxi Based on Total Ownership Cost Model

Article Preview

Abstract:

To analyze the economic benefit of electric taxi in two different models: battery charging model (ETC) and swapping model (ETS), this paper built total ownership cost model based on purchase and used cost, and equaled the total ownership cost of electric and conventional taxi in the nominal lifetime to get the maximum affordable battery charging price and battery swapping price respectively, which is 1.1 RMB yuan/kWh and 0.54 RMB yuan/km. The results show that ETS has economic advantage over ETC. Adjust the charging and swapping price to 0 RMB yuan, the equilibrium year of ETS is only 0.8 years, compared to ETCs 2.8 years.
