Battery Pack Option Cost at 43% option take rate: a worked example

This worked example runs the battery pack option cost numbers for a tougher week than the baseline: 43% option take rate instead of the typical 60%. Estimate the total cost of a battery pack option across a build using pack count, cost per pack, option take rate, and fixed program cost.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Battery packs in build: 1,000 packs (held at the documented default)
  • Landed cost per battery pack: 85 $ / pack (held at the documented default)
  • Option take rate: 43 % (the input this scenario stresses; the baseline uses 60)
  • Fixed battery program cost: 12,000 $ (held at the documented default)

Working through the calculation

  • The calculation starts from the formula this tool documents: Variable battery pack cost = battery packs in build × landed cost per battery pack × option take rate.
  • Total battery pack option cost works out to 48,550 $ at these inputs, and this is the headline figure for the scenario.
  • Battery pack option cost per unit works out to 48.55 $ / piece at these inputs.
  • Variable battery pack cost works out to 36,550 $ at these inputs.
  • Fixed battery program cost works out to 12,000 $ at these inputs.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where option take rate sits at 60% and the headline result is 63,000 $, this scenario comes in 22.94% below the baseline at 48,550 $.
  • Use it during option pricing, program approval, or a make-versus-buy review when you need the fully loaded cost of offering a battery configuration on a platform. A result at this level usually justifies acting on the stressed input before touching anything else, because every other figure in the table is downstream of it.

Results at a glance

  • Total battery pack option cost: 48,550 $ (headline result)
  • Battery pack option cost per unit: 48.55 $ / piece
  • Variable battery pack cost: 36,550 $
  • Fixed battery program cost: 12,000 $
