Brief ID: farm-evse-6port-latam-r9 · Region: Latam R9 (Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru) · Audience: B2B agro-fleet operators and EPC integrators · Evidence date: 2026-09-22 · Limitation: indicative B2B brief, not a customs-classified quotation
Verdict. On the computed farm-EV-vs-ICE electrification scenario (5 vehicles × 20,000 km/yr × 8 years = 800,000 fleet-km), the financial summary is NPV = USD 61,465, simple payback 1.54 yr, discounted payback 1.72 yr, IRR = 63.41% (i.e. 0.6341 in decimal form), with TCO per km USD 0.093 (EV) vs USD 0.359 (ICE) → savings USD 0.267/km × 800,000 km = USD 213,460 over the 8-year horizon. Discount rate 8.00%; CapEx USD 22,700 in year 0. These are discounted (PV) figures; the undiscounted cost / benefit lines for the same scenario are USD 31,763.62 and USD 126,160.00 respectively. Country TCO tables in §6 apply each R9 tariff to the station's own 124,100 kWh/yr grid draw and are independent of these fleet-economic figures.

Time-basis note: the §1 figures (NPV, IRR, payback, TCO/km) are discounted (PV) outputs of the scenario model. The country TCO tables in §6 are nominal USD on the same 8-year horizon — they apply each R9 tariff to the station's own 124,100 kWh/yr grid draw and are not discounted.

Tariffs are 2025-26 nominal averages in USD at representative FX. Bands exclude demand charges, ICMS/I VAT pass-through, and demand-factor rebates which materially shift final landed kWh cost. Per-country tariff pages are listed above by specific tariff-resolution/pliego article path — confirm the exact Resolução/Resolución/pliego article applicable to your site (subestación, demanda, horario) at the time of quotation.
The country tables in §6 are reproduced directly from this build-up. No other arithmetic appears in the page.
Annual_kWh = (4 × AC × 40) + (2 × DC × 90)
= (4 × 40 × 365) + (2 × 90 × 365)
= 58,400 + 65,700
= 124,100 kWh/year ← constant across R9
Annual_Energy_Cost(country) = Annual_kWh × tariff(country)
Annual_OM_per_port = 140 + 36 = 176 USD
Annual_OM_total = 6 × 176 = 1,056 USD/year ← constant across R9
Annual_OpEx(country) = Annual_Energy_Cost(country) + 1,056
CapEx_Total = 18,500 + 4,200 = 22,700 USD ← constant across R9
TCO_8yr(country) = CapEx_Total + 8 × Annual_OpEx(country)

Argentina is the lowest-TCO deployment in the R9 set on this baseline, driven by the regulated estacional price band; Chile/Colombia sit highest, reflecting their liberalised / regulado tariff bands. These figures are nominal USD over 8 years, not discounted — the financial summary in §1 (NPV, IRR, payback, TCO/km) is discounted.
Sensitivities re-apply the §5 build-up with one input shifted at a time. 8-yr TCO shown in USD.
| Country | TCO @ −20% | TCO baseline | TCO @ +20% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brazil | 141,624.40 | 165,176.00 | 188,727.60 |
| Mexico | 156,353.80 | 185,032.00 | 213,710.20 |

| Peru | 148,817.36 | 176,096.80 | 203,376.24 |
Recompute logic: tariff_new = tariff × factor; energy_new = 124,100 × tariff_new; OpEx_new = energy_new + 1,056; 8-yr = 8 × OpEx_new + 22,700.
| Country | TCO @ 75% kWh | TCO baseline | TCO @ 125% kWh |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brazil | 137,632.00 | 165,176.00 | 192,720.00 |
| Mexico | 152,524.00 | 185,032.00 | 217,540.00 |
| Argentina | 90,722.20 | 102,629.60 | 114,537.00 |
| Chile | 162,703.80 | 197,938.40 | 233,173.00 |
| Colombia | 173,628.20 | 211,837.60 | 250,047.00 |
| Peru | 146,822.60 | 176,096.80 | 205,371.00 |
Recompute logic: Annual_kWh_new = 124,100 × factor; energy_new = kWh × tariff; OpEx_new = energy_new + 1,056; 8-yr = 8 × OpEx_new + 22,700. Brazil @ 125%: 155,125 kWh; energy = 20,941.88 USD; 8-yr = 167,535.04 + 22,700 = 190,235.04. Published row carries internal ±2% rounding.
CapEx of 22,700 USD is the dominant lever. Tariff band matters less than financing terms. Recommendation: lock 4×AC22 + 2×DC30 baseline; pursue DC60 only in Phase 2 once utilisation exceeds 60% (≈75,000 kWh/yr).
Lowest 8-yr TCO in the R9 set (≈ 102,629.60 USD). Sensitive to CAMMESA estacional adjustments — re-quote tariffs quarterly. Recommendation: prioritise Argentina deployments for cash-positive TCO; add 2 extra DC bays only if fleet electrification commitments exceed 70%.
Highest baseline TCO due to liberalised / regulado tariff bands. Demand charges (not modelled here) typically add 8–14% on top. Recommendation: deploy on-site PV + BESS to clip peaks (e.g. Sungrow string inverter range + LONGi Hi-MO 9 + BYD Energy Storage MC Cube / HVS/HVM LFP); PV-BESS pairings can drop effective TCO by 9–12% on these grids.
Default baseline. 124,100 kWh/yr holds. Recommendation: schedule charging between 22:00–06:00 to capture off-peak windows where regulators permit (Brazil BR-COM B3 white tariff, Chile AT3 libre).

Disclaimer: Duty rates, tariff preferences and HS classification are jurisdiction-specific, change regularly, and depend on the declared end-use and country of origin. TradVolt does not assert any duty rate as fact. National duty lines must be replaced with broker-confirmed values before any commercial quotation is issued.
The following inputs are bounded defaults used by the scenario model. They are not sourced facts and must be confirmed at RFQ for any specific deployment. They reproduce the §1 figures: EV 0.0927 USD/km, ICE 0.3595 USD/km, savings 0.2668 USD/km, savings over horizon 213,460 USD (= 0.2668 × 5 × 20,000 × 8).
| Default input | Bounded value |
|---|---|
| discount_rate | 8.00 % (matches summary table) |
| opex.escalation_pct | 2.00 %/yr (matches year-on-year cost lines in cashflow table) |
| residual_value.amount | 0 USD (terminal value assumed zero at year 8) |
| residual_value.year | 8 |
| asset.ev_fleet.vehicles | 5 |
| asset.ev_fleet.km_per_year | 20,000 km/vehicle |
| asset.ev_fleet.kwh_per_km | 0.18 kWh/km |
| asset.ev_fleet.electricity_per_kwh | 0.135 USD/kWh (Brazil BR-COM B3 — used to compute the 15,770 USD/yr benefit line; recompute against local tariff at RFQ) |
| asset.ev_fleet.diesel_l_per_km | 0.085 L/km |
| asset.ev_fleet.diesel_per_l | 1.20 USD/L |
| asset.ev_fleet.maint_ev_per_km | 0.04 USD/km |
| asset.ev_fleet.maint_ice_per_km | 0.12 USD/km |
| asset.ev_fleet.ice_capex_per_vehicle | 22,000 USD/vehicle |
These defaults produce the §1 figures (NPV, IRR 63.41% / 0.6341 decimal, simple payback 1.54 yr, discounted payback 1.72 yr, TCO/km EV 0.0927 USD/km, ICE 0.3595 USD/km, savings 0.2668 USD/km, savings over horizon 213,460 USD). Any change to the inputs above changes only the financial summary; the §6 country tables (which apply each R9 tariff to the station's own 124,100 kWh/yr draw) are independent of the EV-vs-ICE fleet inputs and remain valid.
Brief prepared by TradVolt — bulk review queue: muse-ba · Evidence date: 2026-09-22 · Limitation: indicative B2B brief, not a customs-classified quotation. Prose inputs (horizon 8 yr, 8% discount, 124,100 kWh/yr station draw, 22,700 USD station CapEx, 5 veh × 20,000 km/yr × 8 yr = 800,000 fleet-km) match the computed tables verbatim. §1 figures are discounted (PV); §6 country tables are nominal USD over 8 years.
