Electric Vehicles (EVs) Procurement Intelligence

In this Electric Vehicle procurement intelligence report, we have estimated the pricing of the key cost components. Vehicle cost, Financing, Insurance, Purchase Taxes, Annual Registration Fee, Maintenance and Other costs. The other costs typically include home charger cost, electricity purchase, liquid fuel purchase, liquid fuel tax and electricity tax. Vehicle cost alone constitutes 49% of the total cost of ownership. Since the EVs utilize Lithium-ion batteries to run the electric motors, the cost of these batteries are very high and hold 45 - 50% of the total vehicle’s cost, which results to the higher price of every unit. Maintenance costs of an electric vehicle is $315 - $325 lesser in comparison to ICE vehicle if it used as per the maintenance guidelines outlined by the manufacturer.

Rate Benchmarking

The prices of electric vehicles vary by several factors such as the type of vehicle (i.e. battery electric, hybrid, etc.), brand & model, type of battery, powertrain, driving range, etc. The base price (MSRP + DST + Tax) of an all-electric vehicle would start as low as USD 19,900 and will go up to USD 251,000 for the most expensive pick.

Regionally, EVs are less expensive in China as compared to U.S. or European nations. For instance, in China, the average price of EVs were €66,500 during 2015-16. This has now got reduced to €31,500 in 2023-24 which is a decline of 6.9% over the past 7 years. Whereas prices of EVs has increased by over 12.4% and 16.9% in U.S. and Europe, respectively over the same timeframe. Key reasons for EVs being more economical in China include lower cost of production, intense competition among local OEMs and government incentives.

Electric Vehicles (EVs) Sourcing Intelligence Highlights

• The global electric vehicles category is moderately fragmented, with top market players based in parts of Asia, Europe, and North America.
• China is the largest manufacturer of EVs and exporter of EV batteries across the world, particularly in Europe.
• Despite being a competitive industry, the bargaining power of buyers is low as electric vehicles encompass a higher cost of production, and due to costlier batteries and other technical aspects, the scope of negotiation is almost negative.
• Vehicle cost, financing, insurance, purchase taxes, annual registration fee, maintenance costs, and other additional expenses are the major cost components of this category. Other expenses can be further bifurcated into home charger cost, electricity purchase, liquid fuel purchase, electricity taxes, and liquid fuel taxes.
