TO WORK.

Start with these illustrative assumptions, then replace them with your actual costs. All amounts are USD, per truck unless noted.

Package prices exclude installation, shipping, taxes, and optional equipment. Enter these costs below.

01 / Your current idling

Use hours your chosen system can actually replace. This slider does not calculate battery runtime or guarantee a full rest period.

02 / Your investment

Include optional heaters, accessories, shipping, and taxes in other upfront costs. Installation is an example allowance; ask your dealer for a quote.

03 / Annual system costs

Include shore power or added alternator fuel in charging costs. Enter documented maintenance, DEF, or other savings only if they apply. No engine maintenance savings are assumed.

CLEAR ASSUMPTIONS. USEFUL NUMBERS.

HOW YOUR ESTIMATE WORKS.

01

Fuel cost avoided

Hours replaced × operating days × engine idle fuel use × diesel price.

02

Annual net savings

Fuel cost avoided + verified additional savings − charging, maintenance, and heater fuel costs.

03

Payback & five-year savings

Payback = upfront investment ÷ annual net savings × 12. Five-year net savings = five years of net savings − upfront investment.

Assumes the same costs and usage every year. Excludes financing, interest, inflation, discounting, resale value, battery replacement, and unentered expenses. Actual results depend on runtime, weather, battery condition, charging availability, vehicle setup, and how much idling is actually replaced. Fuel avoided describes displaced engine idling; it does not deduct heater or charging fuel in gallons. Those costs are entered separately.
