alt Hacker NewsThis trailer saves 7000l of diesel per year. Assuming 40l/100km, with this trailer you can go ~17.000 km more, which is 11-17% more, for the same fuel cost. Or ~12-15k EUR in fuel savings per year (assuming 1.8EUR/l).
With 13+ years ROI (electricity is not free) is this really beneficial?

Regenerative and solar electricity is free, and regen braking additionally saves wear and tear on brake pads.
The real benefit I think is when stuff like tax codes, carbon credits and government subsidies come into play and ROI goes down significantly.
Or when the next war hits and diesel actually hits and bypasses the 2.50€/l mark.

Maybe you shouldn’t throw out your new trailer, but it looks like a good deal for expanding a fleet.
Remember that all signs point towards more CO2 fees and higher gas prices in the coming years
