<br />Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Analysis: ICF’s PowerGuide Analytics also provides us with the
<br />capability to estimate the total cost of owning and operating each replacement vehicle, including upfront
<br />and lifecycle costs as well as the capital and installation cost of EV charging infrastructure. The cost data
<br />embedded in the PowerGuide is informed by available cost data from manufacturers (both vehicles and
<br />charging manufacturers), dealerships, and the data collected from the municipality fleets across the
<br />country. This TCO analysis, as shown in Exhibit 4, will compare the differences in TCO over the service
<br />life of each vehicle between EV replacements and a scenario where the County only replace their vehicles
<br />with ICE vehicles. The ICF team will estimate TCO on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis and will consolidate these
<br />vehicle-level estimates into fleet-level transition cost estimates. On top of this, we add in estimates of
<br />additional costs like downtime, labor costs to shuttle equipment for repair and a comparison of residual
<br />value to provide critical data that the County needs to plan its budget into the future. The team will provide
<br />high-level estimates and recommendations on the end -of-life salvage and disposal of EVs and their
<br />batteries, compared to ICE vehicles.
<br />PowerGuide does not restrict evaluating TCO under the traditional ownership model, but it can also assess
<br />TCO under various alternative ownership arrangements, including financing and leasing. This model
<br />flexibility allows us to determine cost implications under different scenarios, providing a broader perspective
<br />on the economic feasibility of the transition. The project team will leverage this data, examining challenges
<br />and opportunities associated with each ownership model. By considering each department ’s unique
<br />operational needs, budget constraints, and strategic objectives, we will provide informed recommendations
<br />on the types of ownership models the County could use for a seamless, cost -effective transition to EVs.
<br />Environmental Impacts: In addition to the TCO, the ICF team will conduct a lifecycle assessment
<br />accounting for emissions from electricity as well
<br />as liquid fuel production and distribution. ICF’s
<br />PowerGuide can evaluate the GHG emissions
<br />reduction potential from the County’s electric
<br />fleet. Our approach is based on lifecycle GHG
<br />emission factors from Argonne National
<br />Laboratory’s Alternative Fuel Life-Cycle
<br />Environmental and Economic Transportation
<br />(AFLEET) tool and data from EPA’s Emissions
<br />and Generation Resource Integrated Database
<br />(eGRID) to account for electricity carbon
<br />intensity variation at the regional level. An
<br />example of GHG analysis for a fleet ICF has
<br />worked with in the past is shown in Exhibit 5
<br />below.
