The EV Effect

Assignment Taken

Financing and Ownership Distribution

Case Understanding

In the energy segment of our economy, there is much scope in the renewable energy which solar or photovoltaic converted energy and electricity are going to lead most of the market. This capacity can be utilised in the automobile sector which consists of 2 and 3 wheelers vehicles. Number of registered vehicles in India is 230 Million and segment is still on boom. Conversely this will make us more dependent on fossil fuel. But in recently concluded COP26 summit, India has made a target of getting 50% energy from renewable energy. So, this will also lead our electric vehicle market. General Problems related to finance for a new entrant: Risk is the main cause of financing challenges. Investment in EV is considered a riskier class to finance than an internal combustion engine vehicle. This is so as risk associated with EV producing companies are different from a normal Automobile Company. • Asset risk is the risk that is associated with the financing of a vehicle. It includes risks related to technology, policy, manufacturing, and resale. • Business model risk is the risk that is associated with the use of a vehicle. It includes risks related to customer profile, expected utilization, and operations and maintenance. We also don’t know our prototype will work in the market or be accepted by customers. • Govt is supporting mostly on part of customer to purchase this electric vehicle but less attention is being paid to motivate and incentivise manufacture to research in this area. Given above risks, it is very much difficult to on-board investor to put money in our EV producing business.

BCS Solution Summary

Though we were lacking of fund, we are able to manage our finance including money contributed by us, raising money from investors and taking loan from banks. For working capital, we have chosen bank as our primary source. Another area of focus was to distribute ownership among investor and promoters who are doing other services for our business, this we have decided to do away with things mentioned in the attachment. This attachment contains owner and equity distribution. To get external investment we have prepared a fund raising proposal that we would all be presenting before institutional investors. Other area of finance we try to leverage govt subsidies for setting up unit and manufacturing EVs.
