News Test Drive Hybrid Vehicles Cost Calculator A new, free software tool that compares the costs and emissions of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) to conventional vehicles is now available for government and business fleet managers interested in reducing high fuel costs and protecting air quality. The Hybrid Electric Vehicle Fleet Cost and Benefits Calculator Tool, was developed by the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the Center for a New American Dream, and the American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy (ACEEE) with funding from DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's Clean Cities activity. "The cost calculator tool confirms that in most cases the higher purchase price of a hybrid is offset by fuel savings and better resale values, yet the greatest advantage of HEVs remains the lessening of global warming gases and a reduction of our nation's dependency on oil," said Betsy Taylor, President, Center for a New American Dream.
