Working method. During the last year, comprehensive metrics for ownership cost have been developed to compare the economics of different drivetrain vehicles in different markets. The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) considers all costs to a customer related to the purchase and operation of a vehicle during its service time. The exact definition of the TCO varies greatly. ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇ specifies a measure of vehicle ownership costs that is relevant to a consumer’s purchase decision. This cost measure is termed as relevant cost of ownership (RCO). The RCO may be reported as a cost (net present value e.g. in USD) or, as is done here, in cost per km. The RCO includes the investment cost, the up-front amount paid for the vehicle, including the purchase price and any fees, taxes, and incentives or disincentives (e.g., tax credit or bonus/malus “feebate”). Also relevant are all operating costs, which include the costs of fuel/energy, maintenance and repair and any annual fees or taxes. Furthermore, a resale or residual value, depending on a vehicle’s age and total mileage, is considered. The RCO (CRCO) is the sum of the investment cost and the present value of the annual costs subtracted by the expected residual value. Other cost factors, as insurance, risk aversion to new technology, and uncertainty CHAPTER 12 – PLUG-IN ELECTRIC VEHICLES (TASK 25) of benefits of advanced technology to consumers are not included. Also not included is the cost of limited range of the ▇▇▇. These might be important influences but are subjective, widely variable among consumers, and difficult to quantify. However, neglect of the effective cost of the range limitation of the ▇▇▇ might result in ownership cost estimates that appear low in comparison with the other powertrains. The RCO methodology was applied to a few vehicle powertrains to assess their vehicle energy consumption and economic impact across multiple countries. The latest work has been focused on significantly expanding the vehicles considered for the analysis. Vehicle system simulation was used to assess the impact of multiple component technologies over a wide range of vehicle classes, powertrain configurations and timeframes including uncertainties.

Working method. The Uk&Puk method is based on themes. There are ten themes in total that are associated with the children’s immediate subjective experience. They take place in the here and now. Every theme takes about four to six weeks to complete and comes with a story to be read out. The themes are ‘Welcome, Puk!’, ‘What are you wearing today?’, ‘Enjoy your meal!’, ‘This is me!’, ‘Giants and gnomes’, ‘Rain’, ‘Atchoo!’, ‘Hugs’, ‘It's so hot!’ and ‘My family and I’. Other themes may be discussed as well; themes closer to the child and themes that they can recognise. Every theme is followed by a ‘non-theme’ week. The children can let go of the old theme, while the educational members of staff are preparing for the next theme. The themes bring the outside world into the branch, enabling children to gain experiences and learn new things. The educational member of staff changes the various areas in accordance with the theme. This way, the areas are turned into recognisable and challenging places for the children. The cabinet with development materials will always be home to jigsaw puzzles but the range of these puzzles partly depends on the theme of the day. In the case of the ‘Giants and gnomes’ theme, for instance, the home area can be supplemented with items for the children to dress up as gnomes or items which they can sort out according to size and weight using scales and sorting trays. The ‘pretend’ aspect creates additional opportunities. Materials can be added or temporarily removed in other areas as well. It is also possible to create a themed area to display materials associated with the theme. Examples include books and associated materials the children can play with. The daily routine structure is documented in the daily planning. Every day has recurring activities. It gives children a sense of safety and security. Based on the daily routine schedules, we visualise the daily structure for the children. Young children cannot tell the time yet and have little notion of the concept of time. Children can feel quite unsafe if they do not know what to expect. The daily routine schedules help not just to look forward, but also to look back. For instance, children can use the schedules to tell their parents what they did that day. Parental involvement is important because most of a young child’s development happens at home. Every theme comes with a letter for the parents, explaining the central theme of that moment. It also contains tips for exciting subject-based activit...
