Tesla Semi has cost advantage over diesel trucks, saves 600 million won over 10 years
An analysis said Tesla\'s Semi electric heavy-duty truck could post a total cost of ownership up to $404,000 lower than a diesel Class 8 truck under current U.S. fuel prices, though savings depend heavily on electricity rates and diesel prices. With power at $0.12 per kWh and diesel at $5.35 a gallon, the Semi\'s five-year TCO was estimated at $486,000 versus $633,000 for diesel. Above $0.30 per kWh, the Semi\'s economics weakened sharply.
