What does "competitive pricing" mean - how cheap do my services need to be?

The short answer is: it depends on the market and the current benchmark. DCS evaluates pricing competitiveness against multiple reference points - including the average market price and OEM tariff requirements. There's no single universal threshold that applies to every CPO in every market.

What we can say is that your B2C pricing needs to be genuinely attractive to EV drivers compared to what else is available to them in that market. Pricing that's at or above the ad-hoc (pay-as-you-go) rate is unlikely to meet the bar.
