Initial Capital Expenditure (CapEx) Breakdown</h3> <table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Item</td><td>Estimated Cost (LKR)</td><td>Description</td></tr><tr><td>60kW DC Fast Charger Unit</td><td>LKR 4,500,000</td><td>Dual connector (e.g., Star Charge / Autel / Sinex)</td></tr><tr><td>CEB Substation / Transformer & Metering</td><td>LKR 1,800,000</td><td>Dedicated 3-phase supply (>42 kVA capacity)</td></tr><tr><td>Civil Works & Cables</td><td>LKR 600,000</td><td>Concrete plinth, canopy, trenching, and safety barriers</td></tr><tr><td>Signage, CCTV & Branding</td><td>LKR 200,000</td><td>Security and site illumination</td></tr><tr><td>Total Initial Investment (CapEx)</td><td>LKR 7,100,000</td><td></td></tr></table><h3>2. Operational Revenue & Cost Assumptions</h3> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Power Consumption per Vehicle: ~25 kWh per session (30–40 minute charge).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Retail Price Billed to Drivers: LKR 130 per kWh (Standard market rate for DC fast charging in SL).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">CEB Wholesale Electricity Cost: Weighted average of ~LKR 87/kWh under EVCS Time-of-Use tariffs.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Margin per kWh: ~LKR 43/kWh gross margin before fixed operational expenses.</li> </ul><h3>3. Monthly Financial Projections (By Utilization)</h3> <table style='width: 100%'><tr><td>Operational Level</td><td>Low Traffic (4 sessions/day)</td><td>Moderate Traffic (8 sessions/day)</td><td>High Traffic (12 sessions/day)</td></tr><tr><td>Energy Sold / Month</td><td>3,000 kWh</td><td>6,000 kWh</td><td>9,000 kWh</td></tr><tr><td>Gross Revenue</td><td>LKR 390,000</td><td>LKR 780,000</td><td>LKR 1,170,000</td></tr><tr><td>CEB Power Cost</td><td>(LKR 261,000)</td><td>(LKR 522,000)</td><td>(LKR 783,000)</td></tr><tr><td>Gross Operating Profit</td><td>LKR 129,000</td><td>LKR 258,000</td><td>LKR 387,000</td></tr><tr><td>Fixed Costs (See Below)</td><td>(LKR 65,000)</td><td>(LKR 75,000)</td><td>(LKR 85,000)</td></tr><tr><td>Net Monthly Profit</td><td>LKR 64,000</td><td>LKR 183,000</td><td>LKR 302,000</td></tr><tr><td>Annual Net Profit</td><td>LKR 768,000</td><td>LKR 2,196,000</td><td>LKR 3,624,000</td></tr></table>Note: Fixed Costs include CEB kVA demand charges, CPO software/app commission (10–15%), internet, site lease/share, and routine maintenance allowance.<h3>4. Return on Investment (ROI) & Payback Horizon</h3>Payback Period = Total CapEx / Annual Net ProfitSimple ROI (%)  = (Annual Net Profit / Total CapEx) × 100<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Scenario A: Low Utilization (4 sessions/day)<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Payback Period: ~9.2 Years</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Simple ROI: 10.8% / year</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Scenario B: Moderate Utilization (8 sessions/day - Baseline Target)<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Payback Period: ~3.2 Years</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Simple ROI: 30.9% / year</li> </ul></li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Scenario C: High Utilization (12 sessions/day - Expressway / Prime City Sites)<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Payback Period: ~2.0 Years</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Simple ROI: 51.0% / year</li> </ul></li> </ul><h3>5. Critical Risk & Yield Optimizers</h3> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Solar Hybrid Off-Grid/Grid-Tie Integration: Installing a 30kW–50kW rooftop solar system cuts daytime CEB power draw from LKR 87/kWh down to ~LKR 15–20/kWh, increasing net profit margins by 40%–60%.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Co-Location Advantage: A standalone charger yields lower return compared to placing one at an existing commercial site (restaurant, supermarket, or tea factory outlet), where retail spillover offsets land costs.</li> </ul></blockquote>
