Business Models for Electric Vehicles

The January 2015 Monthly Paper, on 'Competing and Co-existing Business Models for Electric Vehicles: Lessons from International Case Studies' by Claire Weiller, Amy Shang, Andy Neely and Yongjiang Shi.

 

The paper presents four innovative business models that are being developed in three countries to support the commercialisation of electric vehicles (EV). Using an original business model framework and interviews with EV company founders and directors, we analyse the coexistence of competing business models (China) and partnership strategies along the EV value chain (US and France). Findings emphasise the importance of designing flexible business models and leveraging resources and inter-industry partnerships in the emerging EV ecosystem. The results provide practical recommendations for industrial players and insights for policy-makers.
