Use case: office-ac-11kw · Product: Growatt TH-EV11P (mnemonic SKU evse-ac-11kw) · OEM: Growatt New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. · Route: CN → PL · Evidence date: 2026-09-21 · Page status: TCO / landed-cost study
Verdict (scenario model, 25-year horizon, 8.00% discount rate, Poland office site, evidence date 2026-09-21): NPV EUR 19,419.34, IRR 0.7259, simple payback 1.37 yr, discounted payback 1.52 yr. EV-fleet TCO EUR 0.066/km vs ICE counterfactual EUR 0.263/km — savings EUR 0.1967/km, i.e. EUR 98,347 over the 25-year horizon. Limitation: project-level engine is anchored to bounded EV-fleet assumptions (1 site = 1 charge point, fleet km/yr, kWh/km, diesel baseline, maint/km, per-vehicle ICE CapEx); all duty/VAT values are PENDING — lookup against official sources; the C1 Growatt TH-EV11P unit FOB-China price is quote-gated (no public OEM price list published) and is therefore not represented as a sourced fact.

Year-0 cost (EUR 2,953) = the bounded EVSE CapEx block (C1+C2+C3+C4+C5+C8+C9+C10+C11) used in this scenario. Annual Cost rises at ~2.0%/yr (illustrative inflation on OpEx Σ). Annual Benefit is the bounded EV-fleet benefit stream (EUR 2,452/yr) used in this scenario. Where a line shows 0.0000 kWh, it reflects that the model treats energy as an OpEx item carried in the annual Cost line; the EV-fleet mileage, kWh/km and diesel baseline are presented below as bounded assumptions.

Use a PENDING — lookup in the EU TARIC database (measure query). Confirm the exact CN/HS subheading for "charging stations for electric vehicles" (commonly in heading 8537/8504) before binding tariff information is relied upon.
VAT liability is PENDING — lookup on the Polish National Revenue Administration — VAT portal at the date of declaration. The applicable rate and any EVSE-specific exemption must be confirmed at the time of import; reverse charge and VAT group treatment may apply.
CE marking under the LVD (Directive 2014/35/EU, Art. 3), EMC (Directive 2014/30/EU, Art. 6) and RED (Directive 2014/53/EU, Art. 3) where applicable, with conformity to IEC 61851-1:2017 (third edition) and IEC 62196-2:2022 (third edition) Type 2 connector. Verify the OEM's DoC and test-report references directly.
Workplace charging during office hours for staff and fleet vehicles, typically with RFID/app access, OCPP 1.6J back office and MID-class metering. This drives both the energy and accessibility assumptions used in the OpEx and payback model.
The computed simple payback is 1.37 years and the discounted payback is 1.52 years at an 8.00 % discount rate over 25 years. Replace the bounded assumptions in §9 with site-specific electricity tariff, utilisation and installation quotes before any decision.
No. All duty and VAT rates are marked PENDING — lookup against EU TARIC (Poland) and the KAS VAT portal on the date of declaration. No rates are hardcoded.
Each factual claim is tied to a named, deep-linked source. EU portals are linked to specific articles or query pages (not homepages).
