Dashboard for Rapid Vehicle Electrification (DRVE) Version 2.0

Dashboard for Rapid Vehicle Electrification, or DRVE, is a powerful tool that equips users with decision-relevant information on the financial viability and environmental impact of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty vehicle fleet procurements across an entire fleet. The Microsoft Excel-based tool can evaluate a variety of procurement ownership structures, vehicle types, electric vehicle charging configurations, and many more scenarios.

In a nutshell, the tool allows users to import all fleet vehicles and compare a fleet’s conventional vehicles with an electric vehicle alternative. The analysis compares vehicles on a total cost of ownership basis along with well-to-wheels emissions based on regional electrical grid characteristics.

Get started by downloading a copy of the tool and user guide below. Sample data is also provided for users who want to try the tool before providing their own data.

The tool is currently supported on Windows 10, and requires Excel 2016 or a later version.

This tool was created with funding from the Electrification Coalition.
