This financial model is engineered to evaluate and forecast the operating and financial performance of an EV Charging Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) company. It captures project-driven revenue, civil and electrical installation logistics, and monthly operating dynamics across Residential, Commercial Fleet, and Highway/Public DCFC segments.
It provides a full 5-Year (60-Month) forward-looking forecast, enabling decision-makers to assess growth scalability, project margins, working capital requirements for long-lead equipment, staffing needs, and return on investment.
Model Structure – 5 Main Sections
1. Cover Section
• Organized index with navigation mapping.
• Model validation summary to ensure structural integrity.
• Formatting legend for inputs, linked cells, and formulas.
2. Input Assumptions Section
Most business drivers are consolidated into one centralized assumptions interface. However, to allow for detailed monthly forecasting, Sales Volume inputs have been located on the Revenue & Cost of Revenue tab.
Revenue Assumptions The model supports industry-standard EV Infrastructure EPC revenue structures:
• Customer Segments: Residential, Commercial Fleet, and Highway Public DCFC.
• Project Specs: Volume drivers based on Number of Ports and pricing per port ($/Port).
• Sales Velocity: Monthly contract volume ramping
• Revenue Timing: Milestone-based billing triggers (Signing vs. Commissioning) to account for construction delays.
Direct Costs (COGS) & Procurement
• Hardware: EVSE (Chargers), Switchgear, Transformers, and BOS materials.
• Execution: Installation labor (Civil & Electrical), subcontractor fees, and equipment rental.
• Soft Costs: Permitting, utility interconnection fees, and engineering/design costs.
SG&A & Operating Expenses
• Variable: Payment processing fees, advertising etc.
• Fixed: Management payroll, office rent, software, and fleet insurance.
Balance Sheet Drivers
