🚚⚡ EV Fleet Depot Charging Financial Model – Demand Charges, Route Scheduling, V2G & Infrastructure Forecast
This professional Excel financial model is designed for evaluating the commercial and financial performance of an EV fleet depot charging infrastructure project. Unlike a standard public EV charging station model, this model focuses on the unique economics of commercial fleets, where route schedules, charging windows, depot capacity, demand charges, vehicle availability, uptime, and infrastructure planning can materially affect profitability.

The model is suitable for fleet operators, logistics companies, bus operators, last-mile delivery businesses, infrastructure developers, project finance teams, consultants, and investors who need to assess whether an EV fleet depot charging strategy is financially viable.

🚀 What This Model Is Used For

This template helps users forecast and analyze:

• EV fleet size and vehicle growth
• Battery size, daily mileage, route energy demand, and charging needs
• Depot charging capacity and charger-to-vehicle planning
• Level 2 and DC fast charger infrastructure requirements
• Time-of-use electricity tariffs and demand charges
• Peak depot load and charging cost per kWh
• V2G revenue from exported energy and grid services
• Route scheduling feasibility and charging availability
• Missed route risk, queue pressure, and uptime performance
• Infrastructure capex including chargers, transformers, grid upgrade, cabling, software, and installation
• Diesel fuel savings, maintenance savings, and carbon savings
• Battery degradation impact from V2G cycling
• Debt financing, DSCR, IRR, NPV, payback, and equity returns

📊 Key Features Included

✅ Executive Dashboard
A clean summary dashboard showing project KPIs such as IRR, NPV, payback, uptime, peak demand, cost per mile, energy cost per kWh, fleet availability, and savings.

✅ Fleet Charging Scheduler
Users can input route return times, departure times, charging windows, required battery energy, and vehicle availability. The model checks whether depot charging capacity is sufficient to meet route requirements.

✅ Charger Planning Module
Calculates required Level 2 and DC fast chargers, charger utilization, charger-to-vehicle ratio, capacity pressure, and infrastructure needs.

✅ Tariff & Demand Charge Model
Includes time-of-use electricity rates, fixed charges, grid charges, demand charges, and peak-load cost impact.

✅ V2G Revenue Module
Models exported kWh, capacity payments, grid services revenue, and additional value from vehicle-to-grid participation.

✅ Infrastructure Capex Forecast
Forecasts chargers, transformers, grid upgrades, cabling, site works, software, contingency, and installation costs.

✅ Savings Model
Calculates diesel avoided, maintenance savings, carbon savings, and total operating savings compared to diesel fleet operations.

✅ Battery Degradation & Warranty Reserve
Includes cycling impact, V2G usage impact, degradation reserve, and warranty allowance.

✅ Financing & Returns
Includes debt sizing, amortization, interest, DSCR, project cash flows, equity returns, IRR, NPV, payback, and valuation outputs.

✅ Charts, Dashboards & Sparklines
The model includes multiple visual dashboards, professional charts, trend visuals, sparklines, KPI cards, scenario outputs, and audit checks.

✅ Lite & Pro Versions
The package includes a lighter version for quick feasibility and a more advanced version for deeper analysis.

🧩 Why You Need This Model

EV fleet charging is not only about installing chargers. The real economics depend on whether vehicles can complete routes, return to depot, charge within available windows, avoid downtime, manage peak demand, reduce diesel costs, and generate additional value from V2G services.

This model helps users understand:

• How many chargers are needed
• Whether the fleet can be charged on time
• How demand charges affect profitability
• Whether V2G improves returns
• How much infrastructure capex is required
• Whether the project can support debt
• How quickly the investment pays back
• Which scenario creates the best return

🛠️ How to Use the Model

  1. Enter fleet assumptions, vehicle count, mileage, battery size, and charging behavior.
  2. Input route return and departure timing in the scheduler.
  3. Select charger assumptions and infrastructure costs.
  4. Add tariff assumptions, demand charges, and V2G assumptions.
  5. Review dashboards, charts, scenario outputs, and financial returns.
  6. Use the audit checks to confirm model integrity and logic consistency.
