Annotations

  1. RRV data is partial, as it has not yet encompassed a full calendar year. The values are subject to change in the coming months.

  2. Vehicle performance statistics are based on average of all vehicles of a given type operating in Wales, this contains two models with different specs for RCVs.

  3. Drive range is estimated assuming a battery use of 80%.

  4. Compared to a diesel equivalent truck.

  5. Values obtained as per guidance of DEFRA for company reporting (2023).

  6. CO₂ emissions stated on a well-to-wheel (WTW) basis which considers of all emissions from the fuel extraction until its final use in a vehicle. CO₂ stated as CO₂e includes other GHG emissions on a CO₂ equivalence basis.

  7. Values estimated using COPERT emissions factors for the given vehicles.

  8. Values obtained as per guidance of the WelTAG data book (Jul 2023).

  9. Long-term prices based on 7-year estimate from HM Treasury: Green Book 2023 – 2030 (18.3 p/kWh ,1.27 £/L).

  10. Night rate electricity is used to highlight the optimal usage pattern to maximise savings (10.3 p/kWh).
