Capturing Value from Sustainable Electric Vehicle Supply Chain and Strategic Consumer Behaviour

In the automotive industry, the trade-in remanufacturing of second-life batteries and charging/replacing services to consumers in the sustainable electric vehicle supply chain is a commonly adopted business practice with growing awareness of sustainability and the environmental protection. This paper studies how customer purchasing behavior and remanufacturing efficiency affect the economic and environmental values of such a business practice. We demonstrate a new benefit and value capture path of trade-in remanufacturing by a case study on analyzing the business model (BM) of second-life batteries and the choice of charging/replacing service from strategic consumer behaviour.
