Methodology
1. Evidence hierarchy
- Method
- Primary Mozambican authorities/operators and multilaterals first; relays and company announcements explicitly labelled.
2. Definition control
- Method
- Separate active passenger BEV/PHEV, all-powertrain parc, policy targets, bus announcements, two/three-wheel projects, swap stations and passenger EVSE.
3. Market denominator
- Method
- Leave current national passenger TAM null until matched active-registration extract.
4. Forecasts
- Method
- Apply 0.25%/0.5%/1.0% scenario shares to the 2024 all-powertrain light parc. High case equals the ETE private-transport target but remains an EVS proxy.
5. Gate SAM
- Method
- 500 Greater Maputo–Matola plug-ins × 90% active × 60% reach × 1.20 events.
6. SOM
- Method
- Zero before hard gates.
7. Economics
- Method
- Nominal MZN, 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.

Evidence gaps
Evidence, assumptions and operational implications are separated below.
Evidence gaps
Active passenger/light-commercial BEV and PHEV count
- Needed
- Matched INATRO/Customs/dealer extract by VIN, propulsion, class, age, city and active status
- Decision Effect
- Blocks TAM, standalone site and franchise.
BEV/PHEV/HEV/MHEV split and models
- Needed
- VIN/homologation classification and annual registration history
- Decision Effect
- Blocks brand/model/service mix.
Public charging census
- Needed
- Site, connector, standard, kW, access, tariff, uptime and commissioning record
- Decision Effect
- Blocks network-service claim.
Bus delivery/service status
- Needed
- Registrations, in-service buses, depot, charger count and OEM maintenance contract
- Decision Effect
- Prevents announced fleet inflation.
EV workshop/HV competence route
- Needed
- Written Labour/INATRO/INNOQ/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.
