Lithium battery forklift life cycle cost analysis: BYD CPD25 operating expenses reference

Core Dimensions of Life Cycle Costing

Initial procurement cost description

The initial purchase expenditure of 2.5-ton lithium-ion forklifts, including standard power lithium battery packs, vehicle basic quality assurance services and other supporting rights, compared with the same tonnage of traditional internal combustion models, the initial purchase investment will be slightly higher, the follow-up long-term use process The cost advantage will gradually become apparent, the calculation of full-cycle costs can not only refer to the expenditure of a single procurement link, but need to cover the entire use process from purchase to scrap.

Daily energy consumption expenditure reference

Under normal full-load operating conditions, the power consumption conversion cost per 100 kilometers is only about one-sixth of the same tonnage fuel model. Daily charging can rely on the existing mains power resources in the factory area, without the need for additional special fuel supply points, and the supporting infrastructure investment is lower. The energy consumption cost of 2000 hours of operation in ordinary warehousing scenarios is in a low range, and enterprises can flexibly calculate the actual energy consumption expenditure based on their own annual operating hours.

Long-term operation and maintenance and residual value income

Conventional Maintenance Expenses Reference

Lithium-ion models do not have cumbersome items such as internal combustion engine oil replacement, filter element replacement, and oil circuit maintenance. They only need to regularly check the wear and tear of general components such as brakes, hydraulics, and tires. The average annual maintenance cost is only about 30% of that of internal combustion models of the same tonnage. The usable life cycle of the vehicle under normal operating conditions generally exceeds 8 years, and the stability of long-term use is excellent.

return on terminal residual value

After the end of the life cycle of the lithium-ion forklift, the power battery has a compliance recovery channel, which can be converted into a considerable residual value, superimposed on the recovery income of the metal parts of the whole vehicle, and the comprehensive actual investment of the whole cycle will be further explored. After multi-dimensional accounting, the total life cycle investment of the lithium-ion forklift under the same working conditions is much lower than that of the traditional internal combustion forklift, which can provide a feasible path for the enterprise to reduce the cost of handling.
