Definition reconciliation

The national strategy’s 2035 absolute target and percentage are arithmetically incompatible, so neither is used for market sizing.

Methodology

1. Evidence hierarchy
Method
Primary Angolan laws, authorities and operators first; multilateral sources next; secondary/company claims explicitly labelled.
2. Definition control
Method
Separate cumulative registrations, current active stock, BEV/PHEV/HEV, classes, charging stations/connectors and announced projects.
3. Market denominator
Method
Leave national passenger TAM null until matched active-registration extract.
4. Forecasts
Method
Apply 10%/20%/35% EVS growth sensitivities to the official 2,250 cumulative-registration cohort; not active-stock forecasts.
5. Official target control
Method
Do not use the strategy’s 1,485,400/0.85% target because the count and percentage conflict.
6. Gate SAM
Method
1,250 Greater Luanda plug-ins × 90% active × 60% reach × 1.20 events.
7. SOM
Method
Zero before hard gates.
8. Economics
Method
Nominal AOA, VAT-exclusive/pre-tax EVS assumptions; no incentive or FX stability assumed.
9. Validation
Method
JSON, schema, formulas, citations, links, branding, definition control and template residue.

Evidence gaps

Current active passenger/light-commercial BEV and PHEV count
Needed

Decision Effect
Blocks TAM, standalone site and franchise.
Hybrid definition
Needed
VIN/homologation HEV/PHEV/MHEV classification for 5% cohort
Decision Effect
Prevents PHEV inflation.
2035 target correction
Needed
Issuing-authority clarification of 1,485,400 and 0.85%
Decision Effect
Blocks use as national vehicle forecast.
Public charging census
Needed
Site, connector, standard, kW, access, tariff, uptime and commissioning record
Decision Effect
Blocks network-service claim.
EV workshop/HV competence route
Needed
Written ANTT/Labour/IANOR/insurer requirements and adopted editions
Decision Effect
Blocks repair launch.
Traction-battery waste route
Needed
Written classification, storage, carrier and recipient approvals
Decision Effect
Holds pack work.
Paid fleet demand
Needed
Supported VIN list, utilisation, charging pattern, warranty and paid trial
Decision Effect
Blocks commercial continuation.
