EV Lease Fee Segmentation Based on Battery Deterioration Factors
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing rental systems for electric vehicles fail to set appropriate rental fees that comprehensively consider the differing deterioration rates of battery and vehicle portions based on usage, initial state, driving history, environment, and other factors, leading to user dissatisfaction.
Innovation Solution
A rental fee setting apparatus and method that stores utilization manner indications for both power storage devices and vehicle portions, setting distinct rental fees based on initial states, driving histories, environment histories, and other criteria such as weight, capacity, manufacturer, power consumption, quick charging frequency, and utilization regions to account for varying deterioration rates.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Device complexity
If a single rental fee is set for the electric vehicle, then the fee structure is simple, but it cannot comprehensively reflect the differing deterioration rates of battery and vehicle portions
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the rental fee into separate components: a first rental fee for the power storage device (battery) and a second rental fee for the vehicle portion. This segmentation allows each fee to be calculated based on the specific deterioration characteristics and usage patterns of that component, thereby accurately reflecting the differing deterioration rates while maintaining clear fee structure organization.
2Measurement precision
If separate rental fees are set for power storage device and vehicle portion, then comprehensive consideration of characteristics is achieved, but the fee setting system becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The fee setting system is segmented into distinct modules: one for calculating the first rental fee based on power storage device characteristics (initial state, driving history, environment history) and another for calculating the second rental fee based on vehicle portion characteristics. This modular segmentation manages complexity by organizing the calculation processes separately while achieving comprehensive characteristic consideration.
Solution Approach 2:
Different calculation criteria and weights are applied to different components based on their specific characteristics. The power storage device fee considers factors like initial state, charging cycles, and temperature history, while the vehicle portion fee considers mileage, usage intensity, and environmental conditions. This local quality approach ensures each component is evaluated with appropriate precision without requiring a single complex universal formula.
3Reliability
If rental fees are set based on multiple factors (initial state, driving history, environment history), then user satisfaction increases, but the calculation process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary data collection and processing by storing initial state information, driving history, and environment history in advance. These data are accumulated and organized before the rental fee calculation is needed, allowing the actual fee setting process to efficiently retrieve and process pre-prepared information rather than gathering and analyzing raw data in real-time, thus reducing calculation complexity while maintaining comprehensive factor consideration.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where driving history and environment history are continuously monitored and fed back into the rental fee calculation. This feedback loop ensures that the rental fees accurately reflect actual usage patterns and conditions, increasing user satisfaction through perceived fairness, while the structured feedback process manages complexity by using established data collection and processing protocols.

AI summary
A management server is configured to perform a process including: setting a basic fee of a first monthly fee when a utilization manner is battery lease; setting discount rates based on the weight, capacity, manufacturer, degree of initial deterioration, amount of power consumption, number of times of performing quick electric charging, utilization region, and utilization period of the battery; determining the first monthly fee; setting a basic fee of a second monthly fee when the utilization manner is vehicle lease; setting discount rates based on the weight of the battery, a utilization region of the vehicle, and a utilization period; determining the second monthly fee; and determining a total monthly fee.
