[Shuttle] Shuttles

[Henry Schokkenbroek]

Hi Hugh,

Yes, correct. As 5 vans sounds like a high number.
And while it is correct we also had 5 with MCH, they were also used for
a lot of other purposes then only train shuttle (and one van was
totalled after day -3 or so).

Not sure what train station you'd be driving to, but Alkmaar (big train
station!) is 10min away.
Say you will be 10min loading + 10 min driving X 2 (back and forth). A
single van would have a turnaround time of 40 minutes. With 5 vans, that
would mean a van every 8 minutes. That is even more than our public
transport and feels excessive.

You are counting yourself rich here...
Also power cost money, in fact it is €0,40/kWh.
The peugeot e-travveler has a battery of 75kWh so a full charge would
set you back about €30.
The range of the van, fully loaded is about 300km's, so I expect you to
be charging daily during the busy days.

Also note this van charges at 11kW max (3x 16A), so to charge the full
75kWh would take you about 7 hours.
What is also a bit questionable if you only have one or 2 chargers and 5
vans.


I just want to see that you have thought it through and not bluntly
taken the numbers from MCH and copied them over because im afraid that
aint going to work.
