Electric Vehicle & Batteries Pre-Emptive Maintenance Service Support: Costs, Sustainability and Material Recycling Perspectives

Abstract

The study covers cost-sharing models in relation to electric vehicles' pre-emptive maintenance activities to enhance sustainability and end-of-live recycling considerations. It was assumed that the best of the best maintenance-supportive structures would offer extensive value for both the end user and different actors in the maintenance networks and supply chains. Within the pricing and cost contexts, different platform pricing models are discussed. For new electric vehicles adopting countries, pricing models' believability as per user and maintenance network adoption levels are highlighted. Finally, the recycling of the electric vehicle components was considered; especially the batteries. The batteries' chemical composition and maintenance and use can have a significant impact on how long the battery lasts, roughly 500,000 km as the current research is pointing out, or whether it just barely in the rounds of 100,000 kilometres or so.
