5-Year Operating Cost Comparison

Hybrid vs traditional diesel — cumulative costs including fuel, maintenance, and generator ownership

Traditional diesel — fuel + maintenance + generator
Hybrid — fuel + maintenance (no generator)
Hybrid yachts eliminate generator costs entirely. Combined with lower fuel and reduced maintenance, the hybrid line crosses below diesel between Year 2 and 3, with a widening gap through Year 5.
