Prototype cost model

Move the assumptions that drive the number. The whole prototype cost, the component-vs-engineering split, and the first-round funding ask recompute as you drag. Defaults are the delivered cost band, to the euro.

This is a prototype-planning model, not a quote. Every figure is an engineering estimate that lives as a low–high band because at the prototype stage honest ranges are the truth; each range collapses to a point at BOM lock, when written supplier quotes replace estimates. No lever pushes a number outside the band the feasibility read defends.

Everything you type stays in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.

The assumptions worth moving

Eight levers, not every cell. These are the cost drivers the feasibility read names.

Balanced

Positions every cost line between its lean (low-band) and full (high-band) estimate. The three engineering drivers below can override this individually.

Lean buildFull build
€100,000

The longest pole. Constant-speed genset engineering — no off-the-shelf unit exists. following posture.

Bespoke ~15 kWh sealed liquid-cooled pack: design, BMS, thermal, abuse test. following posture.

Trellis design, the packaging puzzle, one-off jig/tooling. following posture.

970 cells

Molicel P42A/P45B high-power 21700 for the ~15 kWh pack. Feasibility read sizes it at ~970 cells.

€6.19/cell

Grounded band: bulk ~€5 to retail ~€8/cell at prototype quantity. Drives the cell line only.

€5.00€8.00
Blended

Used ~€2,300 vs new quote-based €3,500–€6,500. Prototype default blends the band.

€47,500

Instrumentation + desert test days (40–50 °C, sand, thermal). Leaner = fewer test iterations.

€25k (lean)€70k (deep)
50% of band

Integration-risk reserve, €40k–€90k (~15–20% of engineering). An insider expects to see it on a first-of-kind build.

€40k (lean)€90k (full)
16 months

A lean senior team + workshop on top of the prototype build. This is what moves the first-round envelope.
