Life cycle cost of petrol, diesel and electric cars in Czechia (Furch et al. 2022)

What a petrol, a diesel and a battery electric car cost in total over 400,000 km and 15 years on the Czech market in 2022, counting purchase, energy and maintenance, as Furch and colleagues (2022) model it for one car of each kind.

What was done to it

  1. Read the article's JATS XML from Europe PMC (sha256 af876aea0cf1…) and checked its DOI, the caption and column headers of Table 1 and 2 sentences of the text.

    Code: pipeline/src/envdash/transforms/green_premium/cars_furch_2022.py · code sha256 561a3df04cb4bbaa… · inputs af876aea0cf1…

  2. Published the row 'Life cycle cumulative costs LCC' for the petrol, diesel and electric cars, each cell addressed by its printed row label and column header and published as printed (thousands separators removed), after checking that each car's service life reads 400,000 km and 15 years.

  3. Left out the CNG and hybrid cars. Nothing was subtracted: the petrol, diesel and electric costs are shown side by side as the table gives them.

What it covers

Geography
Czechia: one car model per drive type as offered on the Czech market in 2022
Basis
Modelled life cycle cost over 400,000 km and 15 years: purchase price, fuel or electricity, fluids, tyres, batteries, mandatory costs and maintenance, in euros (currency year not stated). Prices of 2022; not a market average. For the electric car the article's text gives €0.21 per km without and €0.25 with a battery replacement; Table 1's value is published as printed.
Unit
euros over the car's life (€)
