4. Payback & sensitivity (arithmetic shown)

ILLUSTRATIVE — NOT A QUOTE. The figures below use placeholder working values so the buyer can see the arithmetic; they are not a Tradvolt commercial offer. Replace the placeholders with figures from the RFQ + GDVC lookup to obtain a real payback.

InputPlaceholder valueUnitSource
Landed CapEx per unit (illustrative)12,000USDOEM + freight + duties (placeholder)
Annual energy delivered per unit480 × 330 = 158,400kWh/yrUse-case assumption §1
Charging service price to fleet (cost-avoidance)0.18USD/kWhInternal transfer price (placeholder)

Sensitivity (illustrative)

ScenarioService price (USD/kWh)Net annual benefit (USD)Simple payback (years)
Base case0.1821,7120.55
Low utilization (−25%)0.1816,2640.74
High OpEx (+30%)0.1819,6720.61
Lower service price0.1415,3760.78
Worst case (low util. + low price + high OpEx)0.148,3481.44

Sensitivity is calculated by re-running the three-step arithmetic above against each row. Replace placeholders with RFQ-confirmed figures to reproduce.

8. FAQ

What HS code applies to EVSE-DC-60kW into Vietnam?
Vietnam applies its national tariff schedule under the General Department of Vietnam Customs (GDVC). The applicable HS national line and any preferential rate must be confirmed directly on the GDVC portal. See §6.
Does the unit ship with CE / UL certificates?
CE (LVD + EMC) and UL 2202 documentation are available on request; certificate numbers are issued per shipment — see §5. Local acceptance in Vietnam is the importer of record's responsibility.
Are the payback numbers on this page a quote?
No. The payback and sensitivity figures are ILLUSTRATIVE — NOT A QUOTE. They demonstrate the arithmetic using placeholder inputs (§4) and exclude duties/VAT pending the GDVC lookup (§6).
What is the lead time and MOQ?
Project-dependent. Submit the RFQ form (§7) — Tradvolt replies within 48 hours on business days with lead time, MOQ, and a firm EXW Shenzhen price.
Can multiple EVSE-DC-60kW units be paralleled for a logistics hub?
Yes. Multi-unit hub topologies (power sharing, sequential queuing, OCPP-driven load balancing) are supported within the EVSE-DC family. Confirm the desired topology in the RFQ.
Which DC connector should I order for Vietnam?
CCS2 is the default and recommended option for new fleets in Vietnam. GB/T is available for China-domestic configurations. Confirm connector choice in the RFQ.
