The marketing agency NAPI calculated the total cost of ownership* of gasoline LADA and HAVAL cars and an electric EVOLUTE used as taxis. The calculation was performed using the online DV-TCO total cost of ownership calculator.
The following models were selected for analysis:
- HAVAL JOLION COMFORT
- LADA GRANTA CROSS Comfort
- EVOLUTE I-JOY City+
A legal entity providing passenger transportation services was selected as the car owner. The car is operated in Moscow and has been owned for 36 months (3 years). The average annual mileage is 130,000 km. Triangle winter tires are used, with three tire changes.
The car is leased (3-year contract term, 27.5% interest rate, 20% down payment). The lease cost does not include maintenance, insurance, etc.
The total cost of ownership of the gasoline HAVAL JOLION COMFORT is 12.45 rubles per km and 4.9 million rubles over three years, while that of LADA GRANTA CROSS Comfort is 9.49 rubles per km and 3.7 million rubles over three years. The total cost of ownership of an electric EVOLUTE I-JOY City+ is 11.51 rubles per km and 4.5 million rubles over three years.
This calculation is provided for a general overview of the total cost of ownership of gasoline and electric cars used as taxi and is not intended to be their comparison. Each model has its own advantages for taxi companies.
*including depreciation and preferential leasing for LADA and EVOLUTE, and excluding the insurance box and additional spare parts (spare parts not included in scheduled maintenance).
