Abstract

This paper explores the development of the Chinese EV demonstration programmes through the conceptual lens of the business ecosystem framework. At present, government is acting as an ecosystem orchestrator promoting different types of business models such that the Battery Swapping Model in Hangzhou and Battery Charging Model in Shenzhen are co-existing while competing fiercely; such actions of orchestrating ecosystem co-opetition triggers practical implications for policymakers and industrial players who are tackling the challenges of stimulating a supportive business environment to promote the advancement of the EV industry in their respective countries. Theoretically, this paper clarifies the definition of business ecosystems, both statically and dynamically, while examining the relationship between business ecosystems and business models.

WanXiang’s passenger EVs are not used in the Hangzhou taxi fleet as opposed to the case of BYD. The EVs produced by WanXiang are part of the demonstration programme for private purchases, while the participating OEM supplying electric taxis for the Hangzhou demonstration programme is Zotye Auto.
