Data-Hall EVSE 10-Port TCO in MEA — Use-Case Analysis

Verdict (base case): NPV = USD 280,404.42 over a 7-year horizon at an 8.00 % discount rate. Simple payback 0.4318 year (≈5.18 months), discounted payback 0.4664 year (≈5.60 months). IRR 2.31 (decimal, i.e. 231 %/yr). TCO per km USD 0.0553 (EV) vs USD 0.3041 (ICE); savings per km USD 0.2489; savings over horizon USD 696,840.00. Equipment scope: Huawei SCharger-7KS-S0 (7 kW, OCPP 1.6J) and Huawei SCharger-22KT-S0 (22 kW three-phase, OCPP 1.6J) from the Huawei FusionSolar Smart Charger family; supporting standards IEC 61851-1:2017 (conductive charging) and IEC 62196-2:2022 ed.3 (Type 2 coupler). Location: MEA data-hall cluster. Evidence date: 2026-01-15. Limitation: per-km figures and horizon savings reflect the bounded fleet assumptions in §5, not OEM-quoted line items; OEM unit capex is an internal placeholder until RFQ.

1. Use-case context

Scope: a 10-port EVSE hub adjacent to a Middle East & Africa (MEA) data-hall cluster, serving two duty classes:

• Class A — Staff dwell: 7 kW AC, 4–8 h dwell, mixed office/shift arrival.
• Class B — Service fleet: 22 kW AC, 1–2 h turnaround, scheduled windows.

Baseline mix: 7 × 7 kW AC + 3 × 22 kW AC. Both AC units are named to real Huawei FusionSolar Smart Charger SKUs (SCharger-7KS-S0 and SCharger-22KT-S0) — datasheet revisions are confirmed at RFQ. Pure-DC and AC-only variants are flagged as alternatives in §3. Grid-connection upgrade is excluded from the headline TCO and noted separately.

4. Computed TCO tables (scenario model)

These tables are the only mathematics on this page. They are reproduced verbatim from the tradvolt.com scenario TCO model and are computed. All inputs below the table are model assumptions bounded to the computed run; the scenario model is the sole source of the numeric envelope.

4.1 Reading the table

• The Year-0 cost line (USD 25,400.00) is the year-0 capex layer used by the scenario model (hardware + install + civil + EMS year-1 bundle); it is a model assumption, not an OEM-quoted line item.
• The annual cost line is the non-capex OpEx stream (software subscription + preventive maintenance); it inflates at 2 %/yr as recorded in the table.
• The annual benefit line (USD 60,320.00) is the scenario model's annualised displacement value of EV vs ICE for the bounded fleet in §5.
• Energy (kWh) per year is recorded as 0.0000 in the computed output for this scenario, which is a model-side convention: energy enters the EV-side cost line via the per-km kWh assumption in §5 rather than as a separate kWh column. Per-km TCO therefore reconciles to the assumptions in §5.

5. Model assumptions (bounded defaults)

The computed run in §4 was produced with the bounded defaults below. They are model assumptions, not sourced facts, and are reproduced here so the reader can re-run the model with site-specific inputs.

6. HS / customs lookup paths

HS classifications for the EVSE shipment are PENDING. They must be confirmed against the host customs authority tariff page, the WCO Harmonized System 2022 reference, and a licensed customs broker before any quote is shipped. Lookup path:

1. Identify host country and open its tariff lookup tool (e.g., USITC HTS, EU TARIC, UK Global Tariff, SARS Tariff, GRA Ghana, URA Uganda, Australian Border Force, Japan Customs, NZ Customs).
2. Cross-check the candidate HS code against the WCO Harmonized System 2022 nomenclature (General Rules of Interpretation, GRI 1 and GRI 6).
3. Confirm with a licensed customs broker for the specific shipment.

No HS code on this page is presented as a confirmed classification. Each row above is a candidate only.
