Calculation method
Calculation method
Seasonal flexible lease cost (USD)
sum(monthlyDemand)*leaseRate + sum positive increases in demand from initial zero * startFee. Assumes renewals with no new start fee.
Purchase scenario net cost (USD)
peakDemand*purchase + activeVehicleMonths*ownedRunning - peakDemand*terminalResale.
Lease minus purchase scenario cost (USD)
leaseCost-purchaseNet.
Peak simultaneous vehicle requirement
max(monthlyDemand).
Active vehicle-months
sum(monthlyDemand).
