Frequently Asked Questions
General
UEV collaborates with universities and LMC to research and enhance both our products and their acceptance in specific applications. Our R&D projects aim to improve performance, efficiency, and usability, ensuring that customers receive innovative and well-tested solutions.
The product developer charges a 5% royalty. Additionally, there may be costs for service contracts, depending on the scope of the requested services.
UEV’s battery system solutions are nearly half the price of comparable products on the market, making them a highly cost-effective choice without compromising quality and performance.
A space equivalent to a garage for approximately three vehicles is sufficient to set up a battery production facility using UEV’s solutions.
Batteries
Yes, such factors are considered during the design phase to ensure optimal system performance under local conditions.
We offer battery cells based on NMC, LiFePO4, and sodium-ion chemistries. Each type has distinct advantages in terms of energy density, performance, temperature range, and lifespan. We would be pleased to advise you on the most suitable option for your specific requirements.
Energy consumption – for example of the e-Rider – is approximately 3 kWh per 100 km, or about 30 Wh/km. The battery weight depends on the desired range, the maximum dimension of the battery space, and cell chemistry. For a range of 100 km, you would typically require a 4–5 kWh battery. We pursue the idea of designing the optimal battery together with our customers in terms of the preferred vehicle and the targeted use case. We are happy to tailor the battery capacity to individual customer needs.
Our batteries are designed for over 5,000 charge cycles. With daily charging, this equates to more than 10 years of reliable operation. We take the cells back. The purchase price includes a deposit of 0.10 EUR per battery cell. This deposit will be refunded when the cell is returned to us.
The initial price is around €250 per kWh. Our aim is to keep costs competitive by sourcing cells directly from China and assembling the batteries locally in the country where the LMC is based.
Components & System Costs
The Automotive Developer Company charges a 5% royalty. Additionally, there may be costs for service contracts, depending on the scope of the requested services.
To ensure cost-effective development, we are placing special emphasis on an efficient system design of a battery charging station. A complete system typically includes PV, wiring, power electronics, and storage batteries. We are committed to supporting you throughout the planning and installation process.
Normally, we do not supply container-based systems. Instead, photovoltaic panels are mounted directly on the roof of existing local houses for providing the infrastructure of battery charging stations.
Vehicle prices depend on parameters such as torque, speed, and performance. We recommend evaluating models based on performance rather than making direct price comparisons between different vehicle types. Finally, the Local Manufacturing Company will determine the sales price.
The costs for welding the chassis of the e-Rider motorcycle are relatively low, amounting to approximately €50. The securing contrivance for welding the tubes is a simple structure consisting of a base plate with angle brackets.
All relevant technical drawings will be provided as part of the licensing agreement. The chassis consists of pre-bent steel tubes (35 mm in diameter, 2 mm in wall thickness), which are supplied along with a welding fixture. At a later stage, local production—including bending and cutting of the tubes—can be carried out independently.
Sales
The costs for import are depending on local regulations. In some cases, there may be tax exemptions for the local assembly of electric vehicles. We recommend consulting with local authorities for accurate information.
We assume the probability of a chaotic sales strategy in the beginning because no LMC can know all of its future customers. Ultimately, the sale will be settled based on the best-selling price. Yes, pricing decisions and discounts are at the discretion of the local distribution partner.
UEV handles international marketing activities. Local advertising efforts, especially those related to each LMC are not funded by UEV. But UEV supports indirectly the LMC because customers will search on UEV´s website for the LMC who offers small electric vehicles in their countries.
UEV collaborates with universities, ADC and LMC to research and enhance both the products and their acceptance in specific applications. Our R&D projects aim to improve performance, efficiency, and usability, ensuring that customers receive innovative and well-tested solutions.
