3. project Description
3.1 Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure
There for the next question will be what are these EVSE ?
There are many different types of EVSEs on the market, but they all serve the
same purpose: to deliver electricity to an electric vehicle to charge its battery. The
three main types of EVSE are AC Level 1, AC Level 2, and DC fast chargers.
AC Level 1: Â EVSE uses a standard 120-volt outlet and can be plugged into
any household outlet. These units typically deliver 3–5 miles of range per hour
of charging and are best suited for overnight charging at home.
Level 1 EVSE uses a standard 120-volt outlet and can  charge electric vehicle
(EV) at a rate of about 3 to 5 miles per hour. Level 2 EVSE uses a 240-volt outlet
and can charge an EV at a rate of about 10 to 20 miles per hour. Some Level 2
EVSEs can also be used with a 120-volt outlet, but they will charge more slowly.
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) has developed its own set of
standards for both Level 1 and 2 EVSE. These standards are similar to the SAE
standards, but they are stricter in some areas. For example, CARB requires that all
Level 2 EVEs have a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI), while the SAE
standard does not.
All EVSEs must be tested and certified by an independent third party before they
can be sold. The most common certification bodies are Underwriters Laboratories
(UL) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
EVSE can be classified into two main types: public and private. Public EVSE is
typically found in parking lots, street corners, or other public areas and is available
for use by any EV owner. Private EVSE is installed at a home or business and is
only available for use by authorized individuals.
The majority of public EVSE uses Level 2 charging, which provides up to 240
volts (V) and up to 80 miles of range per hour of charging. Level 3 charging,
which provides up to 480 V and up to 200 miles of range per hour of charging, is
also available but less common due to its higher cost.
1. J1772: This is the most common type of connection and is used by all major
automakers. It consists of a male plug on the EVSE side and a female receptacle on
the vehicle side.
The aim of our company Tobia PLC is to import these equipment and deploy them
in different part of the country.
4. MARKET ANALYSIS
4.1 Target Market
The target market for electric vehicle charging and EVEC importing is those who
are looking for a more sustainable way to power their vehicles. This includes both
individuals and businesses who are looking for an eco-friendly way to charge their
electric vehicles. EVEC importing can provide a cost-effective solution to charging
electric vehicles, as well as helping to reduce the environmental impact of driving.
EVEC charging and importing can also provide a more reliable source of power, as
it can often be more reliable than traditional energy sources. EVEC importing also
helps to reduce the costs associated with electric vehicle charging, as it can often
be less expensive than traditional energy sources. All of these benefits make EVEC
charging and importing a great solution for those looking to power their electric
vehicles in an eco-friendly and cost-effective way.
6. SWOT Analysis
6.3 Opportunity
There is no station on the region capitals
There is no store and spare part shops on adiss abeba and regional
cities
Limited number of charger types
6.4 Threats
There will be some threats we will face from importing up to installation and
service .
The project-based structure features the best of both the traditional line and
functional organizational structures: it’s simple, with the first tiers answering only
to a direct supervisor. The final tier is the team responsible for completing
whatever project is set before them. However, each member of the team can easily
get information and assistance from the other members.

9.Marketing plan
9.1 Pricing Strategy
Even if our competitors have much strength, we can reduce our price in order to
attract and get large number of customers; as a result, we can increase our profit
from large volume of sales. Actually, the price of our product is not below the
market equilibrium price. But the price for our services will be adjusted in
accordance to market price fluctuation.
Vehicle charging pricing strategies are an important part of the overall market for
electric vehicles. Different pricing strategies can be used to encourage adoption of
electric vehicles, and they can vary depending on the type of customer, the type of
vehicle, and the type of charging station used. Common strategies include time-of-
use pricing, flat-rate pricing, and dynamic pricing. Time-of-use pricing is when the
price of charging varies depending on the time of day, with lower rates during off-
peak hours. Flat-rate pricing is when a fixed price is charged regardless of the time
of charging. Dynamic pricing is when the price of charging varies according to the
demand for electricity. All of these strategies can be used to create a pricing
structure that best fits the needs of the market and encourages the adoption of
electric vehicles.
The price of charging will differ based on the type of charger the vehicle , type of
battery it used , the time spend for charging and the price of electric cost.
The price of electricity is 0.35 birr based on globalpetrolprice.com in 2022
For level 2 charging in the charging station = 12 birr per kilowatt
Price for fast charging in the charge station = 20 birr per kilowatt *
9.2 accessibility Strategy
In the beginning We deliver our charge station service will start at adiss abeba, in
the future we will start station on region cities
9.3 Promotion Strategy
Our promotion strategies are applied using the following methods: -
Pamphlets.
broachers.
Business card.
Sponsorship for short radio programs by using DEBUB
FM 100.9.
By preparing bill board.
Using active social medias like TikTok.

11 ENTERPRISE SUMMERY
Start -up Summary
in the first phase we will open 3 stations and if there is 50 customers per
day and each costumers use about an average of 40 watt in level 3 charger we can
calculate the annual revenue
3*50*40*20= 1200000 birr per day
if we import 8 level 2 charger per month and the price of the charger will be
around 270,000 when we consider tax, transportation and house rent
8*270,000=2,160,000 per month
If we import and sell 2 level 3 charger per month and the price of the charger will
be around 4,200,00 when we consider the tax ,
2*4,200,000=8,200,000 birr per month
the total importing and selling revenue = 10,360,000 birr per month
the total monthly revenue of the firm will be = 13,960,000 birr per month
profit
profit of our firm can be calculated by using total revenue and variable expense
per month
profit = total revenue – variable expense

in the first year of operation the enterprise will incur small profit. because at the
first year the enterprise offer its services in low price relative to other already
emerged enterprises to attract large number of customers. Since, the existed
enterprise have strong capital base and they had already attract customer using
advertisement and sponsorship mechanism , it is difficult to compute with them by
this mechanism rather the enterprise prefer to offer low price for its services . And
also the increased expenses in initial capital will lead to higher expenses in the
beginning year. These will result in to loss. But, second and third year we will
incur profit because we will have more customer and we will reduce our expenses.
In the fourth year we will incur profit but, reduced rate of profit because we make
much amount of cost for promotion and transportation expenditures.in the fifth
year we will make much profit than other year we didn’t got, because we rising
sales and reduce the cost of raw material.
From the approach they take on the management of their internal teams, to the way
they produce and promote their products and services, businesses have undergone
tremendous changes on all levels, and it’s all because of technology. Artificial
intelligence, machine learning, and the internet of things are just some of the
technologies that have been revolutionizing the ways in which businesses are run,
regardless of the industry that they operate in, and transformations continue to take
place as we speak.
