Range extending as a service Jean-Baptiste Segard November 2017
A universal choice… X Peak range 2 Daily range
… how does it compare to an EV ? Peak range 3 Daily range
The main issue… 100 k. Wh
… and its consequences for the mass market ! 40 k. Wh battery Usage 100 k. Wh battery Daily usage (98%) Peak usage (2%)
EVs: how much battery is required? Battery utility: • 0 -20 k. Wh : 87 % of all daily usage • +20 k. Wh: +9% • +20 k. Wh: +1, 5% • +20 k. Wh: +0, 5% If 20 k. Wh has a « cost » (or impact) of 1 unit per day of usage: • +20 k. Wh costs 11+1=12 / day • +20 k. Wh costs 12 + 67= 79 /day • +20 k. Wh costs 79+200 = 279 /day • … Potential for widespread electrification of personal vehicle travel in the United States, Zachary A. Needell, James Mc. Nerney, Michael T. Chang and Jessika E. Trancik, MIT , Nature Energy 15 August 2016 The long term limit to battery size isn’t technology, it’s the marginal utility. 6

The proposed Service • • On demand rental Travelling with peace of mind ! Optimal carbon impact London example: – 17 rental points – 9 million people • Paris, Oslo, etc. • 500 km additional range 8 M 25 ULEZ
2030 Vision • Vehicles are clean, connected, autonomous and lean. • Their range is adequate for daily usage. • During long distance trips, a self hitching energy module (a Tender) complements their internal energy storage. 9
The business model Range extending service for EVs Revenues - High client value - Margin protected by patents - Recurring business (“sticky” business) Distribution - Low client acquisition cost (via car dealers) Growth - Scalable business (wireless rental management, passive docking stations) - Variable costs - Global market - Growth >20% for decades 10
Key facts and figures Targeting 6 m€ turnover in 2021 2 Launch client Intl. patents granted Strong fundamentals H 2020 SME Phase 2 3 M$ funding Field test 50 cars, 5 Tenders Clients are impatient ! Team of 5 Low burn rate 11

Appendix
What do mathematics tell us? Two variables: • Battery capacity • Charging power Seven equations: • Profitable car = small battery • Non subsidized = small battery • Price competitive = small battery • Convenient = very large battery • Convenient = ultra rapid charging • Charging from renewables = slow demandresponse residential charging • Minimized life cycle footprint = small battery And with premium autonomous cars : • Non stop trips = very, very large battery • No time wasted = hyper rapid charging 7 equations, 2 variables : no solution. This isn’t a technological problem.
A classic solution: solving two independent sub-problems Power bank for occasional long distance • Rex, battery, fuel cell, inductive charging • On demand rental Peak range • • • Vehicle optimized for 98% of usage 15 -60 k. Wh battery depending on segment Mostly residential charging Daily range
What do Economics tell us ? Marginal utility Marginal cost Marginal utility, marginal cost and resulting marginal demand of any product High demand Low demand No demand Quantity
