Guidance Document Information
Title Guidance Document for Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Document ID DGS TCO
Summary Chapter 789 of the 2022 Acts of Assembly requires that, with certain exceptions, all agencies of the Commonwealth use a total cost of ownership (TCO) calculator prior to purchasing or leasing a light-duty vehicle beginning January 1, 2023. The required TCO calculator is located on the DGS/Office of Fleet Management Services’ (OFMS) website (https://dgs.virginia.gov/fleet/) under the Resources tab. For the purpose of this requirement, a light-duty vehicle is defined as a vehicle with a curb weight of less than 14,000 pounds. The TCO calculator compares the total cost to purchase, own, lease, and operate a light-duty internal combustion-engine (ICE) vehicle versus a comparable electric vehicle (EV). Agencies are required to purchase the less expensive of the two vehicles unless they are granted an exemption from DGS.
