The CPO Business Toolkit
The three models every charging operator ends up building anyway
What you get
Takeaways
- A unit-economics model that separates fixed from variable costs properly, so break-even utilisation falls out of it
- A weighted site-selection scorecard you can take to a site visit
- An uptime SLA template with a definition of availability that survives negotiation
- A checklist of the questions to put to a DisCom before signing a site
Contents
- 01
The four business models
CPO, host, eMSP and captive — what each owns, what each earns from, and the capital each requires.
- 02
Building the unit-economics model
Landed cost per kWh including demand charges, contribution margin, and solving for break-even utilisation rather than projecting revenue.
- 03
The site-selection scorecard
Eleven weighted criteria, the three that override the rest, and how to read a host’s electricity bill.
- 04
Structuring the host agreement
Revenue share versus rent, defining the revenue base precisely, minimum guarantees and effective-dated terms.
- 05
The uptime SLA
Defining availability at the connector, what to exclude, and what evidence to commit to producing.
- 06
The first ninety days
What to measure from week one and which three numbers should change your plan.
