Methodology
1. Evidence hierarchy
- Method
- Primary Cameroon authorities/operators and multilateral sources first; secondary/commercial evidence explicitly labelled.
2. Definition control
- Method
- Separate active passenger BEV/PHEV, cumulative registrations, hybrids, all-powertrain imports, motorcycles, buses and charging points.
3. Market denominator
- Method
- Leave national passenger TAM null until matched active-registration extract.
4. Forecasts
- Method
- Apply 15%/30%/50% EVS growth sensitivities to the 73-car commercial cumulative-registration proxy; not active-stock forecasts.
5. Gate SAM
- Method
- 250 twin-city plug-ins × 90% active × 60% reach × 1.20 events.
6. SOM
- Method
- Zero before hard gates.
7. Economics
- Method
- Nominal XAF, VAT-exclusive/pre-tax EVS assumptions; annual volumes remain within gate SAM.
8. Regulation
- Method
- No incentive, permit, technician credential or standard assumed without written current confirmation.
9. Validation
- Method
- JSON, schema, formulas, citations, links, branding, definition control and template residue.
32
Evidence gaps
Evidence, assumptions and operational implications are separated below.
Evidence gaps
Active passenger/light-commercial BEV and PHEV count
- Needed
- Matched MINT/Customs/dealer extract by VIN, propulsion, class, age, city and active status
- Decision Effect
- Blocks TAM, standalone site and franchise.
HEV/PHEV/MHEV split
- Needed
- VIN or homologation classification for the reported 165 hybrids
- Decision Effect
- Prevents PHEV inflation.
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 MINT/Labour/ANOR/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.
