# [[Batteries as a Service]]
## The Insight
- Nio has just launched a BaaS offering
- Reduced the upfront purchase price of the car compared to the premium ICE segment
- Help sell more EVs and drive adoption
- Decouples vehicle cost from Battery Cost
### The Idea
- Battery Replacement (exchange) instead of Charging.
- Offer Battery on a Subscription model of $150 pm
### The Execution
- Need Battery Swapping Stations
#### Hypothesis to disprove
- Buyers actually don't care about the $10,800 reduction in Vehicle cost upfront that makes the $150 pm BaaS model attractive
#### Potential Scenarios
- Bear
- Base
- Bull
- Revenue booth from the BaaS model with larger adressable market and recurring revenue
