11 views

In this highlight from Episode 42 of The Charge Point Podcast, host Christophe Lephilibert speaks with Otto Gussenhoven (sennder) about what electric truck TCO parity really means in practice for Germany and the Netherlands.

They explain that parity can be achieved when electricity prices reach roughly €0.25–0.26 per kWh, allowing electric trucks to operate at competitive cost per kilometre. But the conversation goes further: achieving parity on paper is not enough unless fleets can translate TCO into value through efficient utilization, planning, and driver deployment.

This insight shows why successful electric freight operations depend on both energy strategy and operational excellence, especially in European markets with tight margins and high utilization expectations.

In this podcast highlight, you’ll learn:

  • What electricity price enables electric truck TCO parity

  • Why Germany and the Netherlands are key reference markets

  • How TCO translates into cost per kilometre

  • Why utilization and planning define real competitiveness

  • How logistics companies turn parity into customer value
