The seven-dimension breakdown (method v1.0)
Performance (20%)n/a — evidence insufficient
No independent testing; EU deployment of the swap format unverified. Gap: independent EU testing of a swap-capable model or official EU specifications would close it.
TCO position (20%)n/a — evidence insufficient
Relies on Qiji corridor economics; no EU data. Gap: TCO calculation for an EU swap corridor would close it.
Price transparency (10%)1/5
Evidence: no public EU pricing (NOT published for EU) — lowest tier in State A.
source ↗Compliance & market access (15%)n/a — evidence insufficient
“EU-certified swap format” lacks conclusive type-approval or delivery evidence; CATL Qiji was launched in China in 2023, with European swap certification/delivery unproven. Gap: EU swap-format certification or delivery records would close it.
Warranty (10%)n/a — evidence insufficient
Warranty to be verified; no written terms. Gap: written warranty terms would close it.
Service network (15%)2/5
Evidence: CATL and Octopus Energy formed a European truck-swapping network joint venture (2026-06), an early-stage swap network; however, actual EU deployment/density of swap stations is unproven, hence 2 points.
source ↗Track record (10%)n/a — evidence insufficient
“EU-certified swap programme” lacks named deliveries. Gap: named fleet delivery records would close it.
