讲座简介：

We study flexible electric vehicle (EV) battery leasing enabled by a swappable battery design, where customers lease their primary batteries and can temporarily up/downgrade to different capacities for peak usage. We consider two scenarios, one representing the current market where flexible battery leasing is an emerging innovation and the battery supply is relatively tight, and the other representing the potential future market where flexible battery leasing is a common practice and the battery supply is ample. In both scenarios, we investigate whether and when profit-maximizing flexible battery leasing reduces total customer cost and/or total battery capacity compared with simple battery leasing, both of which are crucial for flexible battery leasing’s viability. Adopting a game-theoretical model, we find that, in both current and future markets, profit-maximizing flexible battery leasing can simultaneously reduce total customer cost and total battery capacity, thus benefiting customers and the environment as well as the manufacturer. This win-win-win outcome tends to occur when the battery cost is intermediate and the battery range is sufficiently large— both of which are likely in practice. In addition, such win-win-win outcomes may occur for high battery costs in the future but not the current market. These findings point to flexible battery leasing’s likely viability in terms of customer value and environmental impact in both current and future markets. They provide strategic support for EV manufacturers’ potential adoption of the swappable battery design and the Battery-as-a-Service model, and may inform their operating policies to implement flexible battery leasing.
