The document analyzes the impact of various factors - battery size, cost, and range - on the battery swapping business model. It considers how changes to each factor individually as well as in combination would affect the viability and attractiveness of the battery swapping business. Key factors that positively support battery swapping include smaller battery sizes, lower battery costs, and shorter vehicle ranges, as they increase customer needs for an alternative to charging. Larger batteries, higher costs, and longer ranges make swapping more challenging and less necessary. The impacts of combined changes are more complex and may depend on additional considerations like customer cost-consciousness.

Battery Battery Battery Impact on Battery Remarks size cost Range swapping business Bigger Batteries would make it Increase Constant Constant Negative challenging to swap If the battery cost is high, people in general may try to avoid the purchase the battery and will more Constant increase Constant Positive be interested in the battery swap business thus significantly reducing the upfront cost One of the pain points of conventional EV is range of vehicle and battery swapping business Constant Constant Increase Negative critically addresses that pain point. However, if we improve the range then the battery swapping business will not make much sense Undetermined Increased battery size and cost For cost conscious would act in opposite directions customers and ultimately which factor will Increase Increase constant Battery swapping dominate the other would depend business- +ve on the cost consciousness of the customer and the sophistication of battery swapping technology, Increased battery size would make swapping challenging and Increase constant Increase Negative increased range would discourage buyers from involving in battery swapping business Increase Increase Increase Undetermined Battery size and cost would make it challenging to swap however high cost of battery may drive the customers to swap the battery Smaller batteries would make it more convenient to swap the Decrease Constant Constant Positive batteries and moreover the initial set up cost of battery swapping station would also reduce Since battery cost in this case is low customers would not be likely to go Negative Constant Decrease Constant for swapping the battery as it would increase the total cost of ownership of vehicle. Since range of battery is low in this case therefore people are much more likely to adopt for battery Constant Constant Decrease Positive swapping business as it will make the whole charging experience more convenient Decrease Decrease constant Undetermined Decrease in size would favour the battery swapping business and since the battery cost has also reduced in this case thus which factor dominates the other depends on their relative degree of increase or decrease Decrease constant Decrease Positive Battery size has decreased and so does the range of the vehicle, both factors will positively support the battery swapping business Market attractiveness for battery Decrease Decrease Increase Negative swapping business is low in this case
