2. Charger Specifications (DC Side, 72V Nominal)
All chargers operate at 72V DC nominal. 1C BMS-limited charging strategy — the BMS, not the charger, is the bottleneck.

Key finding: 150A is the practical charging ceiling for LFP 1C. 200A adds no speed improvement. For 30Ah and 45Ah batteries, 80A is sufficient. The 3-phase availability at each site is the primary determinant of viable charger tiers.
3. Contract Spectrum (with SeaOil)
| Model |
SeaOil Risk |
SeaOil Contribution |
OVES Contribution |
Revenue |
| A: Pure Tenancy |
Minimal |
Space + power access (paid) |
All equipment (rack, batteries, chargers) |
SeaOil: lease fee. OVES: all swap revenue |
| B: Revenue Share |
Low-Med |
Space + power + staff |
Equipment (battery + rack + platform) |
60% SeaOil / 40% OVES |
| C: Co-Investment |
Medium |
Co-invests battery/rack |
Platform + brand + supply |
Profit share proportional to investment |
| D: Full Acquisition |
Highest |
Owns all equipment |
Platform + supply + brand |
SeaOil: 100% swap revenue. OVES: platform fee |
Pilot recommendation: Start with Model A (Pure Tenancy). Offer Model B as scale option once unit economics are validated.

Pilot phase |
Post-pilot scale |
Personnel requirements (manned): 1–2 attendants per station per shift. Training on battery handling, G-Cash POS, basic troubleshooting. Shifts: 2 shifts/day for 12-hour operation, 3 shifts/day for 24-hour.
5. Operational Workflow
Swap Sequence
- Operator arrives with depleted battery
- G-Cash QR scan → verifies active subscription or prepaid balance
- Attendant unlocks bay, swaps depleted → charged battery
- System logs: battery ID, operator ID, timestamp, SoH delta
- Depleted battery enters charging queue
Onboarding (New Operator)
- Register via OVES app (KYC: ID + G-Cash + vehicle plate)
- Select plan (subscription or per-swap)
- Pay deposit via G-Cash (PHP 13,600 for 30Ah, 40% of landed cost)
- Receive battery + orientation
- First swap within 24 hours to validate system
