The seven-dimension breakdown (method v1.0)
Performance (20%)n/a — evidence insufficient
No independent real-world range/energy consumption test available for the battery-swap version in China. Gap: an independent test or official battery-swap version specifications would close this.
TCO position (20%)3/5
Evidence exists: CATL Qiji officially states the battery-swap “vehicle-battery separation” model saves RMB 30,000–60,000 per year (at 200,000 km annual mileage); however, this is China-market data, not Europe, hence 3 points.
source ↗Price transparency (10%)1/5
No public EU pricing; battery-swap version’s vehicle-battery separation pricing undisclosed → lowest tier in State A.
source ↗Compliance & market access (15%)2/5
SANY’s battery-swap model is compliant and in mass production in China; European compliance for the battery-swap version is unverified, hence 2 points.
source ↗Warranty (10%)n/a — evidence insufficient
No written terms found for the battery-swap version’s battery warranty (under Qiji battery leasing). Gap: written warranty/battery leasing terms would close this.
Service network (15%)2/5
SANY has self-built swap stations (8 bays, 168 swaps/day) plus CATL Qiji’s national battery-swap network plan, but no European deployment, hence 2 points.
source ↗Track record (10%)n/a — evidence insufficient
No named European deliveries. Gap: named fleet delivery records would close this.
