EVS Armenia EV Service Centre Market Entry
Decision-grade Armenia assessment separating the administrative electric class, pure BEVs, series and parallel hybrids, stock and import flows, charging points and announced stations, with an auditable Yerevan serviceable-pool model and EAEU/VAT/compliance gates.
All-road electric stock
22,650
Minimum registered administrative electric-class stock at end-August 2025; includes some series hybrids.
Stations
300
Reported minimum points; no live connector, access, power or uptime audit.
Jobs/year
3,637
22,650 × 88% light-passenger proxy × 98% active × Yerevan concentration × 45% reach × 1.15 events.
Years
2.894
Base simple payback on AMD7.5m reversible partner-pilot capex.
01/The verdict in full
Executive summary
- Conditional go for a capped Yerevan partner pilot. The last exact anchor is more than 22,650 administrative electric-class vehicles at end-August 2025. [civilnet_stock]
- Definition control is fundamental. Armenia includes some series hybrids inside the electric class; a pure BEV split is unavailable. [civilnet_definitions]
- The model yields 22,463 national TAM and 3,637 Yerevan SAM jobs annually. These are EVS assumption-led, not official demand.
- Hold pack work and standalone/franchise capex until all evidence, compliance and paid-demand gates clear.
02
Board Decision
Authorise up to AMD7,500,000 reversible capex for diligence and a 90-day two-bay partner pilot only after gates clear. Base steady-state economics are 480 jobs, AMD21,600,000 revenue, AMD2,592,000 EBITDA and 2.89-year payback; all are EVS assumptions.
Decision Summary
- Decision
- CONDITIONAL GO — Yerevan partner pilot
- Reason
- Rapid electric-class growth and service fragmentation justify a controlled evidence pilot.
- Decision
- NO-GO now
- Reason
- Pure BEV/series-hybrid split, supported VINs, independent reach and recurring paid demand remain unaudited.
- Decision
- HOLD
- Reason
- No pack opening, module/cell work, removal, storage or damaged-battery custody until written approvals and lawful route.
- Decision
- Collection/clinic only
- Reason
- Test Gyumri, Vanadzor and corridors after Yerevan proof; no fixed regional capex.
03
Market size
More than 22,650 administrative electric-class vehicles were registered by end-August 2025, but the pure-BEV/series-hybrid split is unavailable. Import flows and quotas are not added. [civilnet_stock] [civilnet_definitions]
Stock and flows remain definition-sensitive; series hybrids may sit inside the administrative electric class.

Methodology and source register
Quantitative claims are linked; uncertainty and conflicting definitions are explicit.
Methodology
- Method
- Prioritise MIA, SRC, ministries, Yerevan, EEC, ARLIS and standards bodies; label relays.
- Method
- Separate administrative electric stock, pure BEV, series/parallel hybrid, imports, registrations, quotas and charging measures.
- Method
- Apply explicit passenger/light, active, events, concentration, reach and ARO assumptions to the stock anchor.
- Method
- Run cautious/base/high five-year and operating scenarios; compare but do not blend policy targets.
- Method
- Hold executable SOM at zero until powertrain/VIN, approvals, tooling, bookings and safety evidence exist.
- Method
- Reparse JSON; reconcile formulas; resolve citations; scan template residue and brand palette.
