Executive summary

The verdict in full

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

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

A fast-forming but still small and young electric-car cohort

The 5,826 figure is a cumulative NLTA-attributed registration flow, not verified active stock [mycar_nlta]. The official total parc does not separate powertrain [stats_road_2025].

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.

Operating model

Format
Recommendation
One scheduled partner bay in Moka–Pailles–Ebène–Phoenix; no new lease.
Partner
Recommendation
Existing licensed automotive workshop with OSH, fire, electrical, waste and insurance evidence.

Recommendation
EVS operating standard, booking, QA and evidence layer; partner remains premises employer/operator.
Staffing
Recommendation
Two assessed technicians, one service adviser, shared HSE/finance; no lone HV work.
Hours
Recommendation

Parts
Recommendation
Job-bounded ordering and supplier provenance; no speculative traction-battery inventory.
Data
Recommendation
VIN/task capability matrix, consent, privacy notice and controlled retention.
Franchise
Recommendation
Management licence/pilot only; no master territory before 12-month gate.
Expansion
Recommendation
Mobile/collection coverage north/west; second bay only after positive evidence.

Go / no-go gates

Registry
Go
≥4,500 active passenger/light-commercial BEV/PHEVs nationally and ≥2,500 in the central corridor, with class/status/region/age/make separated.
No-Go
Only cumulative electric-car registrations, all-vehicle stock or unseparated hybrid counts.

Methodology

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

Methodology

1. Geography control
Method
Ledger rank 114 locked before research; exactly one geography processed.
2. Source hierarchy
Method
Mauritian government/regulator/OEM sources first; commercial and directory claims labelled.
3. Definition control
Method
Cumulative registrations, active stock, BEV, PHEV, conventional HEV, class, site and connector remain separate.
4. History
Method
Only reported cumulative/recent/2025 electric-car registration grains are shown; unavailable PHEV fields are null.
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.
8. Charger control
Method
47 directory locations are context; no regulator-verified sites/connectors/uptime were found.
9. Economics
Method
Jobs × ARO = revenue; revenue × gross margin = gross profit; gross profit − fixed opex = EBITDA; capex/positive EBITDA = simple payback.
10. Currency and tax
Method
Nominal MUR, VAT-exclusive; no grant, tax benefit, financing, working capital, depreciation or owner tax included.
11. Validation
Method
JSON reparse, required sections, dataset/source references, SQL snapshots, calculations, branding, residue and gates checked.
12. Decision rule
Method
Executable SOM is zero until every launch gate passes; serious HV/fire event overrides commercial results.

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.
