Abstract:

Power battery is the most core and highest value of the key components of new energy vehicles, and the choice of power battery procurement channels is an important strategy for new energy vehicle firms. Based on game theory and taking the electric vehicle industry as the research object, the influence of product substitutability on production strategy and power battery purchasing strategy of electric vehicle enterprises is analyzed under duopoly where one company has the power battery production capacity and the other does not. The results show that when the company with power battery production capacity adopts the vertical integration of vehicle-electric production, the new electric vehicle company without power production capacity tends to purchase power batteries from external battery suppliers. However, when the company with the production capacity of power batteries adopts the strategy of vehicle-electric separation, the new energy vehicle company without power production capacity tends to purchase power batteries from the company with battery production capacity. At the same time, the research shows that, no matter what battery purchasing strategy is adopted by electric vehicle company without power production capacity, for the electric vehicle company with battery production capacity, the vehicle-electric separation production strategy is always superior to the vehicle-electric integration production strategy.

Key words: new energy vehicle industry, power battery, procurement strategy, product substitutability
