“…In the transportation domain, personas are mainly applied in relation to different mobility behavior patterns in order to develop services for different types of travelers, e.g. based on vehicle driving behavior patterns defined by motives for car use or the amount of annual vehicle kilometers travelled, to allow for various levels of energy consumption (De Clerck et al, 2018). Other approaches use personas for representing different types of drivers, public transport passengers or ride sharing customers for considering different preferences and expectations regarding vehicle design or user experience, e.g.…”

“…[22] differentiates her estimates by residential density. [23] adopt a persona-based approach to represent six diverse driver profiles with different mobility patterns in Flanders. Frequently, authors use sensitivity analyses to explore the impact of changes in the model parameters, including the annual distance traveled assumption on the TCO.…”

The paper investigates whether it makes economic sense to use electric vehicles (EVs) in the public sector fleet. Thanks to the data collected in 2018 in 77 public sector entities in an Italian region, Friuli Venezia Giulia, we compare the total cost of ownership of a battery electric vehicle with that of a similar internal combustion engine one. We provide estimates for four scenarios (status quo, social cost internalization, price discounts and a combination of the last two) for three groups of public entities (local health authorities, municipalities and special purpose authorities) regarding passenger cars and mixed-use small light commercial vehicles. We find that, with the current price and cost structure, it makes economic sense to adopt EVs for a positive although relatively small percentage of the public sector fleet.

“…However, the important purchase price of electric vehicles can be partially compensated by their low running costs and maintenance costs compared to conventional vehicles. The costs structure of electric vehicles is different from conventional vehicles, therefore the total cost of ownership has often been used to compare these different technologies [9][10][11]. A few total cost of ownership (TCO) analyses have investigated the competitive position of commercial vehicles.…”

Cathy.Macharis@vub.be (C.M.); Joeri.Van.Mierlo@vub.be (J.V.M.) 2 Flanders Make, 3001 Heverlee, BelgiumAbstract: This paper analyses how the total cost of ownership (TCO) of electric light commercial vehicles change with the number of kilometers driven, the period of ownership, the residual value of the battery, and different fiscal incentives, as well as a kilometer charging scheme. This paper demonstrates that a kilometer-based charge and reduced fiscal incentives for conventional vans can drastically improve the TCO of electric commercial light duty vehicles. Second life applications for batteries could also have a strong impact on the TCO of electric vans as they could retrieve a better residual value. Finally, the paper shows that the TCO of electric vans can be optimized based on its usage. These are important findings given the ambitious objective of carbon free city logistics by 2030. Adoption of electric vans remains very low and this paper offers an up to date analysis to stimulate the electrification of light commercial vehicles, a segment that is growing fast in city logistics.
