FUS = 78 / 100 - Fleet Utility Score
Duty-cycle versatility, packaging, and real-world usefulness for fleet scenarios.

Suitable for rideshare and light-duty fleet roles
Good interior space for passenger or campus mobility use
RWD configuration offers predictable dynamics
Cargo space sufficient for general-purpose fleet roles

TCO = 87 / 100 - Total Cost of Ownership Score
Energy cost, maintenance expectations, uptime, and residual value assumptions.

Low purchase price improves fleet ROI
High efficiency reduces cost per mile
Maintenance costs lower than ICE crossovers
Best results when paired with predictable daily driving patterns

CCS = 76 / 100 - Charging Convenience Score
Depot charging behavior, public network compatibility, and real-world turn-around speeds.

Acceptable DC charging performance for compact EV class
Stable AC charging at 11 kW supports overnight depot cycles
Thermal management maintains adequate charging curve stability
NACS migration will improve long-term charging access

DAX = 75 / 100 - Driver Assistance Experience Score
ADAS capability, stability, and driver workload reduction in fleet contexts.

Basic telematics limits deep fleet integration
Good ADAS suite for urban and suburban driving
OTA updates available but not full-stack or high frequency
Cabin ergonomics support comfortable extended driving periods


Energy & Cost Context

Energy use assumption: 27 kWh / 100 miles in typical mixed urban duty cycles.
Depot energy cost assumption: $0.07 per kWh (off-peak commercial rate).
Estimated cost per full charge: ~ $4.50 (0-100% of usable capacity).

Telematics scope: Limited (VW Telematics platform)
