Vehicle economics
The price is only the beginning.
Depreciation, energy, insurance, interest and the return you give up. TELOS lines up every item and tells you what a vehicle really costs, before you sign.
Principles
- 01
Open formulas
Every number has a documented, reproducible formula.
- 02
Editable assumptions
Prices, consumption, rates, depreciation: change a value, the result updates.
- 03
Real-world consumption
Based on on-road consumption, not type-approval figures.
- 04
Cash and cost, apart
What leaves your account and what it really costs, opportunity cost included.
- 05
Month by month
Monthly simulation up to 10 years, with inflation per cost item.
- 06
Ready for data
Engine separate from the interface, ready for real market datasets.
