Fleet TCO Calculator – Taxi Edition
Compare the total cost of ownership (TCO) of a conventional ICE taxi vs. a RHINO EREV taxi over a chosen operating period. Useful for fleets, cooperatives, and investors evaluating RHINO deployment.
Scenario Setup
Define how intensively the taxi operates. Values can be adjusted to match Dakar, Nouakchott, or any African city.
Example: 60,000 km/year ≈ 200 km/day × 300 days.
Typical fleet ownership horizon is 4–7 years.
RHINO EREV – Taxi
Electric-first taxi with onboard range extender. Energy can come from grid/solar and fuel.
Purchase & vehicle
Energy costs
