What are the long term costs as well as environmental impact of Ashok Leyland Dost CNG LS vs electric?
As environmental sustainability is gaining more attention and electric vehicles are becoming more popular, many small business owners are considering between CNG and electric mini trucks. The Ashok Leyland Dost CNG LS has been a popular vehicle in the past due to its relatively low emissions compared to diesel vehicles as they are entering the market with electric alternatives. The debates this has sparked about long term costs – initial purchase price, fuel/charging costs, maintenance, and government incentives – have been heated. Then there is the environmental impact question: CNG is cleaner than diesel, but electric vehicles can promise zero emissions (at least at the point of use). Nevertheless, the environmental comparison must take into account the source of electricity and battery production as well. CNG stations are also more common than EV charging points in many areas, which is another key point. Therefore, financially and environmentally which one makes more sense in the long run? In this article, we will look at the pros and cons of Dost CNG LS vs its electric counterparts.
I did the math, and the Dost CNG LS still wins for me. It is cheaper in terms of initial cost and the CNG infrastructure is already there. On paper, electric sounds good, but we are not there yet in terms of practicality.
