Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the status quo of competing business models for electric vehicles and to analyze them to assess their future success in terms of strategy and financial performance. Based on a case study approach, the business models Better Place and the traditional plug-in electric vehicle business model are presented. Their different setup regarding value creation, configuration of the value chain and the revenue model is presented based on a business model framework. On the basis of the business model setup and interviews with market experts, both business models are analyzed in terms of strategy through a SWOT analysis and in terms of financial performance through a financial analysis. The results are discussed to assess the likelihood for success. The analysis shows that both models are currently not profitable and depend on similar drivers to become profitable. In addition, the Better Place model would require automotive companies to produce electric vehicles with exchangeable batteries and the plug-in electric vehicle business model needs for customers to adjust to the restrictions of electric vehicles regarding range and recharging. The reluctance of automotive companies to accept an exchangeable battery is the key hurdle that limits future success of the Better Place business model while the high flexibility of the plug-in electric vehicle business model allows for adjustments to deliver almost similar value propositions to customers.

This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, Post University, course: Competitive Intelligence, language: English, abstract: The overall electric vehicle industry has grown significantly in the last five years. One of many reasons for that was the introduction of Tesla`s first electric vehicle in 2009 with a strong differentiation strategy. Tesla is now focused on its entry into the mass automotive market. To achieve that, the company is committed to invest heavily in its production capacity and model line-up, most recently with the introduction of Model 3. Tesla’s competitive advantages for this strategic goal include a superior electric vehicle technology and recharging infrastructure, brand recognition, a first mover market position, and a strong network of strategic partnerships. However, since the company entered the industry in the premium sport and luxury sedan vehicle niche segment, it has a resource disadvantage in regards to know-how, large-scale manufacturing processes and model line-up when it comes to the mass automotive market. Additionally, the company is relying on an overall growth of the EV demand, technological improvements and a high number of customer referrals in the near future. There is a large number of existing premium manufacturers in this space, several of which already enjoy major manufacturing and economies of scale advantages that will make this endeavor highly costly and risky. However, the combination of Tesla’s competitive advantages and aggressive marketing could result in the capture and sustainment of a significant percentage of market shares in the mass automotive segment.

To understand the complex features of this emergent technology, the authors explore the current status and prospect of vehicle-to-grid, and detail the sociotechnical barriers that may impede its fruitful deployment. The book concludes with a policy roadmap to advise decision-makers on how to optimally implement vehicle-to-grid and capture its benefits to society while attempting to avoid the impediments discussed earlier in the book.

Download or read book An Electric Vehicle Conversion Start Up Development of a Business Model Approach written by Fabian Hoeft and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-10-24 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,3, Niederrhein University of Applied Sciences Krefeld (School of Business and Economics), language: English, abstract: Today's world of mobility is characterised by a high degree of dynamism and change is becoming apparent. Currently, around 45 million passenger cars with conventional combustion engines, powered by diesel or petrol, are registered in Germany. The share of electric vehicles is still well below one per cent. Nevertheless, the voices for sustainable and environmentally friendly transport are becoming louder. One political measure in this respect is the implementation of driving bans in major German cities for some conventional combustion cars. Car electrification is a solution for converting cars with conventional combustion engines to electric drives. In the context of this thesis, car electrification is regarded as a transition solution towards a nationwide electrified transport network of new electric cars. A comprehensive concept of a business model approach from a start-up perspective has been developed based on the analysis of the environment, industry, and customer needs. Analysing the structure of the electrical conversion industry revealed that the subject of car electrification is hardly widespread and that current suppliers have only converted a smaller number of cars. Besides the small scale of implementation, the operational execution by existing suppliers can be considered weak in terms of competitiveness and sustainability. The analysis of the needs of potential customers of car electrification using qualitative and quantitative methods has led to incredibly valuable insights for the development of the business model approach. A high openness to purchase was expressed, considering some of the factors mentioned, such as a test drive with an electrified car before purchase and a durability guarantee of the conversion. The high relevance of initial acquisition costs compared to operating expenses in the purchase decision for passenger cars is another precious insight. The business model approach developed based on the findings obtained differs fundamentally from the strategies of today's providers. By incorporating the existing infrastructure of workshops and service points, proximity to the end customer and scalability of the business operation can be achieved. Partnering with universities and industry are two critical elements in the development of a sustainable, secure, and user-friendly technical solution.

Download or read book Potential Business Models for Recharging Infrastructure and Their Implications for Plug In Electric Vehicle Adoption written by Rakesh Sridhar and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plug-in Electric Vehicles are more efficient, have lower operating and maintenance costs, and emit fewer local air pollutants than conventional internal combustion engine vehicles. Despite these advantages, the customer adoption of plug-in electric vehicles has been slow due to their high purchase costs, limited driving range, and long recharging times. Construction of a ubiquitous network of high-power recharging stations has often been suggested as a solution to promote their adoption. Although many governments around the world are currently funding the construction of public recharging infrastructure, they cannot continue to provide support indefinitely. This necessitates a private sector-led effort to expand public recharging infrastructure for plug-in electric vehicles to become competitive with conventional vehicles. Unlike gasoline stations, public recharging infrastructure service fewer cars in a day, and hence, the traditional ancillary revenue based gasoline station business model will not be applicable. So, new, innovative business partnerships are required in the near term to support the construction of public recharging infrastructure until the demand from plug-in electric vehicles becomes significant enough to generate high revenues. Using a System Dynamics modeling approach, we modeled and simulated the electromobility eco-system comprising of electric vehicles and various types of public recharging infrastructure to determine the factors that influence the infrastructure's financial viability. We then conceptualized two business models that affect these factors to improve the cash flow and net income of public recharging infrastructure. Data from literature was used to calibrate one of the two business models, and we were able to prove that public recharging infrastructure can be constructed in a profitable way if the provider partnered with a taxi fleet. Once the business model was validated, we introduced it in the electromobility eco-system simulation to estimate its impact on the adoption of Battery Electric Vehicles. With the business model in action, the public recharging infrastructure expanded by 14% from earlier and resulted in a 7% increase in the adoption of plug-in battery electric vehicles by 2050.

Download or read book Business Models for Sustainability written by Peter E. Wells and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2013-10-01 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business Models for Sustainability breaks new ground by combining three important insights. First, achieving sustainability requires socio-technical transitions that entail new technologies, production processes, lifestyles, and consumption patterns. Second, firms play crucial roles in mediating between sustainable production and consumption. Third, radical innovations require organizational innovations and new business models. Peter Wells successfully combines these big picture ideas with rich in-depth case studies drawing on years of accumulated expertise. Highly recommended. Frank W. Geels, University of Manchester, UK and Chairman of the Sustainability Transitions Research Network With increasing awareness that innovative technology alone is insufficient to make sustainable lifestyles a reality, this book brings into sharp focus the need to create radical new business models. This insightful book provides a theoretically grounded but also realistic account of how the design of business models can be a critical component in the overall transition to sustainability, and one that transcends the usual focus on innovative technology. Weaving together key principles and components for business sustainability, the book highlights five very different pathways to the future for sectors ranging from microbreweries and printing through to clothing, mobility and plastics. Business has only just started the first few tentative steps towards a very different approach to creating and sustaining value, but this book concludes that enormous opportunities will emerge alongside new ways of creating and capturing value. Academics and postgraduate students in the fields of sustainable business, business organisations and industrial ecology will find this book brings a greater understanding of business strategy and structure to the discipline. While traditionally referenced and structured, this academic book is accessibly written with key principles that may also appeal to the consultant community.

This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,0, , course: Competitive Intelligence, language: English, abstract: The electric vehicle battery is directly codependent to the electric vehicle industry. Both industries suffer from the high switching cost for batteries. Economies of scale and high capital investments have established a competitive and rather closed market. Within this market the buyers’ power is omnipresent. The automobile makers are following a backward vertical integration strategy to increase the benefit within the supply and development chain. At the same time traditional combustion engines still threaten electrification due to customer distrust and again the high switching costs.
