Tesla wants a corporate vehicle fleet. Report: "Under worst-case conditions, Model 3 will meet 89 percent of needs."

EIQ Mobility and Tesla are promoting the Model 3 as the ideal electrician for the vast majority of companies. After considering all the factors that could affect the range, it was calculated that even in the most unfavorable circumstances, the model will be able to cover 89 percent of the routes of an internal combustion engine.

Electric vehicles: higher purchase costs, lower operating costs

In the eIQ Mobility report, which hit the Electrek portal, several electric vehicles were taken to the workshop (source). Their ranges have been tested and additional indicators have been introduced to reduce the distance that can be covered on a battery, such as lower cell efficiency at low temperatures. It turns out in the worst case Tesla Model 3 Long Range will cover 89% of corporate travel.

The Nissan Leaf e+ can handle 79 percent, the Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus 84 percent, the Chevrolet Bolt 85 percent, and the Tesla Model S Long Range 93 percent.

It is known that company cars are not bought from a warehouse. Above However, the numbers mean that with a fleet of four vehicles, replacing one of them with an electrician – even for the Nissan Leaf e+ – will not affect the company's production capabilities in any way.... Everything will work as before.

In the US market, Tesla also often leads its class in total cost of ownership (TCO). For five years of operation, it is much cheaper than the Audi A5 and even cheaper than the Toyota Camry LE, which is considered a very affordable car. The total cost is $ 0,29 per kilometer / $ 0,46 per mile (last line):

In European companies, the situation is similar. Moreover, electric vehicles have a number of privileges that are in vain to look for among internal combustion vehicles. The most important of these are subsidies, lower taxes, and sometimes no cost of parking in public car parks or the ability to travel faster using bus lanes.
