EVS Algeria EV Service Centre Market Entry
Decision-grade Algeria assessment separating all-vehicle market evidence, announced EV supply, charging stations and repeat charging sessions from an explicitly assumption-led Algiers serviceable-pool proxy.

Base simple payback on DZD2m reversible capex; pre-tax, pre-finance.
Executive summary
The verdict in full
- Conditional go only for a reversible Algiers partner pilot after a registry/dealer extract. Sonelgaz reported completion of 1,000 charging stations and nearly 10,000 charging sessions in Algiers, but no clean current official national BEV/PHEV stock or annual-sales series was located. [sonelgaz_rollout]
- The 417-vehicle-equivalent anchor is a proxy, not stock. It is 10,000 sessions divided by an EVS-assumed 24 sessions per unique BEV over an unspecified cumulative window.
- No national TAM is calculated. Base Algiers SAM is 270 jobs and DZD6,750,000 annual revenue, entirely assumption-led after the sourced session observation.
- No standalone centre, exclusive franchise or traction-pack work.
Board Decision
Authorise diligence and up to DZD2,000,000 reversible partner-bay capex only after all gates. Base steady-state economics are 120 jobs, DZD3,000,000 revenue, DZD660,000 EBITDA and 3.03-year simple payback; all are EVS assumptions.
Decision Summary
| Dimension | Decision | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Market entry | CONDITIONAL GO — reversible Algiers partner pilot | Charging infrastructure is real, but official BEV/PHEV stock and sales denominators are not publicly available. |
| Standalone centre / franchise | NO-GO now | A session-derived proxy cannot support irreversible premises or territory commitments. |
| Traction-battery work | HOLD | No pack opening, removal, storage or damaged-pack custody without written fire, insurer, waste and recipient approvals. |

Market size
The wider parc exceeds 6.3 million vehicles and 96,418 vehicles were imported in 2025, but both are all-powertrain context and neither is an EV denominator. No defensible national EV market size is asserted. [ons_parc_relay] [imports_2025]

Vehicle parc age and service demand
The wider parc is old, but that does not prove an aged EV cohort. Launch demand should centre on supported diagnostics, charging/12V triage and chassis services. [ons_parc_relay]
Vehicle parc and service demand

|---|---|---|---|
| All-vehicle parc | 6,300,000 | vehicles-plus | Large conventional service economy, not EV demand [ons_parc_relay]. |
| Parc older than five years | 80 | percent-about | Supports chassis/tyre/brake demand; not BEV age [ons_parc_relay]. |
| Parc older than ten years | 58 | percent-about | Ageing context cannot be transferred to young EV cohort [ons_parc_relay]. |
| 2025 used imports under three years | 54,418 | vehicles | Unsupported-import culture may later create multi-brand opportunity [imports_2025]. |

Pilot economics
All jobs, prices, margins, opex and payback values are EVS assumptions. The shared-bay structure protects downside while the true registered denominator is established.

Risks and mitigations
The missing EV denominator and risk of misreading sessions as stock dominate. OEM access, policy volatility, battery safety and waste custody remain material.

Risks and mitigations
| Risk | Likelihood | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|---|
| No official EV denominator | High | High | Obtain registry/dealer extract separating BEV, PHEV, status, geography and age. |
| Charging-session proxy misread as stock | High | High | Label every proxy output; never use it for national TAM or valuation. |
| Demand below break-even | High | High | Shared bay, 25 deposits and paid fleet trial before launch. |
| OEM software/parts access | High | High | Top-20 VIN/task matrix, lawful tools and authorised referral. |
| Battery fire/electric shock | Low | Critical | No pack work, controlled zone, isolation SOP, drills and damaged-pack refusal. |
| Waste/recipient gap | Medium | Critical | No traction-battery custody until written route and insurance. |
| Import/regulatory change | High | Medium | Quarterly decree/customs review; no incentive in base case. |
| Grid/charger uptime uncertainty | Medium | Medium | Audit 30 Algiers sites for connector, power, access, payment and uptime. |

Methodology
Facts, observations, assumptions and calculations are separated. Missing data is labelled, never imputed as official fact.
Methodology
| Step | Method |
|---|---|
| 1. Evidence hierarchy | Algerian primary sources first; named official statements via credible media where tables are unavailable. |
| 2. Definition control | Separate all-vehicle parc/imports, BEV/PHEV stock/sales, charging stations, sessions and policy/industrial pipeline. |
| 3. Proxy | Nearly 10,000 Algiers sessions ÷ 12/24/36 assumed cumulative sessions per unique vehicle; not stock. |
| 4. SAM | Base proxy × 90% active factor × 60% independent reach × 1.20 annual events. |
| 5. National TAM | Not calculated because a defensible national plug-in stock denominator was not located. |
| 6. SOM | Zero until market, demand, compliance, capability and economics gates clear. |
| 7. Forecasts | Five-year growth cases on the session-derived proxy; capacity planning only. |
| 8. Validation | JSON/schema, formulas, citations, source grains, links, branding and residue checks. |
