CONDITIONAL GO for one reversible partner bay

NO-GO for a standalone centre

01/The verdict in full

Executive summary

NO-GO for a standalone centre; CONDITIONAL GO for one reversible partner bay. Mauritius ended 2025 with 746,961 registered vehicles, including 423,869 cars/double-cab/dual-purpose vehicles [stats_road_2025]. An NLTA-attributed relay reports 5,826 cumulative electric-car registrations in 2012–2025, with 2,374 in 2025 and about 84% registered in 2023–2025 [mycar_nlta]. This is registration flow, not active BEV/PHEV stock.

EVS applies explicit 90% active, 65% central-corridor and 40% independent-reach assumptions, producing about 1,363 SAM vehicles, 1,636 jobs and MUR9.816m annual service revenue [evs_model]. Executable SOM remains zero until registry, legal, capability, paid-demand and safety gates pass.

Use a MUR700,000 capped partner bay in Moka–Pailles–Ebène–Phoenix only after proof. No property, territory sale, speculative parts inventory or traction-pack custody.

Board Verdict

Reject standalone premises and a master franchise. Authorise registry/legal diligence and one pre-booked central-corridor partner bay after every hard gate passes.

Decision Summary

Dimension	Decision	Reason
Entry verdict	NO-GO STANDALONE / CONDITIONAL PARTNER BAY	The evidenced young fleet supports a reversible central-corridor pilot, not permanent premises or a master franchise.
Capital	CAP	Maximum MUR700,000 reversible tools, training, PPE and bay controls; no property or speculative inventory.
Franchise	DEFER	No territory sale until the 90-day gate and 12 months of positive partner-bay evidence.
Battery	HOLD	No traction-pack opening, module repair, storage, transport, repurposing or disposal custody at launch.
Geography	CENTRAL CORRIDOR	Port Louis–Moka–Plaines Wilhems first; mobile referral coverage elsewhere.

A scheduled partner bay protects learning capital

Use an existing compliant operator and a capped EVS standard; do not create a new fixed-cost base.

Economics are conditional but workable

Base steady state assumes 480 jobs, MUR6,000 ARO, 62% gross margin and MUR1.2m fixed opex [evs_model].

Methodology

Current Mauritian sources are prioritised, definitions reconciled and assumptions exposed.

Methodology

Step	Method
1. Geography control	Ledger rank 114 locked before research; exactly one geography processed.
2. Source hierarchy	Mauritian government/regulator/OEM sources first; commercial and directory claims labelled.
3. Definition control	Cumulative registrations, active stock, BEV, PHEV, conventional HEV, class, site and connector remain separate.
4. History	Only reported cumulative/recent/2025 electric-car registration grains are shown; unavailable PHEV fields are null.
5. Current active proxy	5,826 cumulative registrations × 90% active assumption.
6. Serviceable pool	Active proxy × 65% central corridor × 40% independent reach × 1.20 events × MUR6,000 ARO.
7. Forecasts	10%/18%/28% five-year planning growth applied to the 2025 cumulative-registration denominator; not official forecasts.
8. Charger control	47 directory locations are context; no regulator-verified sites/connectors/uptime were found.
9. Economics	Jobs × ARO = revenue; revenue × gross margin = gross profit; gross profit − fixed opex = EBITDA; capex/positive EBITDA = simple payback.
10. Currency and tax	Nominal MUR, VAT-exclusive; no grant, tax benefit, financing, working capital, depreciation or owner tax included.
11. Validation	JSON reparse, required sections, dataset/source references, SQL snapshots, calculations, branding, residue and gates checked.
12. Decision rule	Executable SOM is zero until every launch gate passes; serious HV/fire event overrides commercial results.

1. Geography control

5. Current active proxy

Method: 5,826 cumulative registrations × 90% active assumption.

6. Serviceable pool

Method: Active proxy × 65% central corridor × 40% independent reach × 1.20 events × MUR6,000 ARO.

7. Forecasts

Method: 10%/18%/28% five-year planning growth applied to the 2025 cumulative-registration denominator; not official forecasts.

12. Decision rule

Method: Executable SOM is zero until every launch gate passes; serious HV/fire event overrides commercial results.

Source register

Publication/access dates, role and limitations are recorded. Obtain and archive the underlying NLTA fuel-by-class extract during diligence.

Final decision

NO-GO: standalone centre, master franchise, property, speculative inventory, traction-pack custody or unlicensed charging. CONDITIONAL GO: one booked central-corridor partner bay only after every hard gate passes. Reassess at day 90 and month 12.

Method / Sources and confidence

Where every figure
comes from.

Registrations, charging and legal requirements are read from primary sources. Where no official dataset exists, the model and its assumptions are published instead of a single unexplained number. This report is a dated snapshot: August 2026.

Reports are commercial research, not legal, tax or investment advice.
