The cost of operation is compared for four contemporary electric vehicles and their ICE counterparts based on NASA test data. The higher EV purchase price is assumed to be offset by its lower maintenance and repair costs, so that operating economics are compared based on only the cost of 'fuel' purchase and storage for each vehicle - i.e., gasoline for the ICE, or electricity plus battery amortization for the EV. The effects of vehicle payload weight, battery cycle life, and the price of gasoline on the relative economics are analyzed. The analysis is based on the J227a B cycle, which offers the best case for EV economy and is applicable to commercial EV fleet operations. The results suggest the relative importances of gasoline price increases, battery cycle-life improvements, and EV weight for economically competitive operation with similar ICE vehicles.
