Why MASOF

What makes our market studies different

We are not a generalist engineering firm. Every study is built on the ground, for the ground.

Field, not desk

Our studies are built with local data, on-the-ground stakeholders and market realities. No generic templates.

Multi-market

A rare ability to deliver studies across markets with radically different regulations, standards and cultures.

Pure EVCI expertise

We are not a generalist engineering firm. EVCI is our core business, in high-complexity geographies.

Decision-grade deliverables

Our reports are made for decisions, not decoration. Explicit assumptions, documented scenarios, actionable recommendations.

Study contents

10 chapters to decide with confidence

Each study covers the entire decision chain: from geographic context to financial analysis, from multi-criteria scoring to an operational action plan.

  • Regulatory framework: LOM, AFIR, RE2020, TIRUERT
  • Local EVCI master plans (SDIRVE, local authorities)
05

Competitive analysis (5 km radius)

Exhaustive mapping of all present and planned operators, identification of charging deserts.

  • Full inventory: Tesla, Ionity, Electra, Fastned, TotalEnergies, Lidl, public networks…
  • Power, number of charge points, pricing by station
  • Identification of DC charging deserts and white zones
  • Competitive threat analysis (SDIRVE, private operators)
06

Potential demand analysis

Addressable EV fleet estimate, charging session projections, target user profiles.

  • EV fleet estimate: residents, tourists, professionals, transit
  • High / base / low scenarios with 3- and 5-year projections
  • Estimated DC and AC charging sessions per month
  • 6 target user profiles with behaviour and potential
07

Technical recommendations

Projected infrastructure, deployment scenarios, equipment and grid connection recommendations.

  • Scenario comparison: compact, central, extension
  • DC / AC power sizing, OCPP protocol
  • Grid connection: CRF ENEDIS/CEB, C4/C5 contract
  • PMR accessibility, contactless payment, eMSP interoperability
08

Financial projections

Investment estimates, revenue projection, costs, EBITDA and cash flow over 5 years.

  • Detailed CAPEX: charger, civil works, connection, signage
  • Annual revenue projection: DC + AC + TIRUERT
  • Operating costs: energy, maintenance, supervision
  • EBITDA, net cash flow, estimated ROI per scenario
09

Site scoring grid

Weighted multi-criteria scoring across 7 axes, composite score and potential classification.

  • 7 weighted criteria: location, demand, competition, grid, traffic, regulation, profitability
  • Score out of 10 per criterion with commentary
  • Final composite score and classification (low / good / high)
  • Benchmark against previously analysed sites
10

Phased action plan

Operational roadmap in 5 phases, from grid feasibility to potential extension.

  • Phase 1: Grid feasibility report, land qualification, council contacts
  • Phase 2: Occupation agreement, design, ADEME grants
  • Phase 3: Civil works, connection, installation, commissioning
  • Phases 4-5: Commercial opening, KPI tracking, extension

Final deliverable: full report + executive summary + stakeholder presentation

In English or French, adapted to the standards of local funders and decision-makers.

Our method

From brief to decision, in 4 steps

01

Scoping & brief

Defining the scope: target geography, number of sites, strategic objectives, budget, timeline. We start from your challenges, not a template.

02

Field data collection

Traffic data, local surveys, grid analysis, competitive inventory, regulatory context. Each market has its own sources.

03

Analysis & modelling

Data cross-referencing, multi-criteria scoring, economic modelling, scenario building. Every assumption is explicit and traceable.

04

Delivery & presentation

Full report, executive summary, stakeholder presentation. We remain available for iterations and post-delivery questions.

Geographies

Our field knowledge, market by market

Each study is grounded in local reality. We only work on markets where we have an effective presence and network.
