Reply to comment by PM_ME_A_PLANE_TICKET in Domino’s Pizza will soon have 800 electric vehicles for delivery drivers by redingerforcongress
Alright, let's do better math;
> According to a pizza delivery driver from Ohio, drivers can average “around 80–120 miles on your car per night
Let's estimate 100 miles per night;
Milage is $0.625 / mile; personal vehicle ownership assumes only 260 working days whereas fleet car is operating 360
Cost of milage for personal car [260 days]: $16,250
Cost of milage for personal car [360 days]: $22,500
Cost of milage for personal car [1800 days]: ~$112,500 [we assume this number is not accurate given that change in milage]
Each night, Dominos fleet major expense is electricity, which at residential rates of $0.10 / kwh, that'd be ~$2.85 / night / car [3.5 kw / mile, 100 miles / night]
Battery durability should allow for more than 80% after 5 years, 180,000 miles easily
So, looking at 5 year total;
Total cost of Bolt [1800 days]:
Electricity: $5130
Tires: $2400
Car: $27,000
Total: $34,530
I feel like I should just make this an algebraic expression so I can wolframalpha yall a chart when it makes sense for Dominos to buy their own fleet vs paying milage
