Service Product-Units¶
Overview¶
Service Product-Units deliver ongoing value through infrastructure access or usage tracking. They are strictly categorized into two types:
- Access-Type Services — Grant time-bounded access to infrastructure (must have explicit duration)
- Gage-Type Services — Monetize usage metrics (swap count, kWh, etc.)
Access-Type Services¶
Definition: Grant access to infrastructure or networks for a defined duration. Duration must be explicitly specified.
Battery Swap Access – 45Ah – Weekly¶
- Category: Service Product-Unit (Access-Type)
- Metric: Week
- Duration: 7 days
- Description: Time-bounded access to battery swap infrastructure for 45Ah batteries
- Prerequisites: Active Swap Privilege – MotBat 45Ah
Battery Swap Access – 45Ah – Monthly¶
- Category: Service Product-Unit (Access-Type)
- Metric: Month
- Duration: 30 days
- Description: Time-bounded access to battery swap infrastructure for 45Ah batteries
- Prerequisites: Active Swap Privilege – MotBat 45Ah
Swap Network Access – City – 12 Months¶
- Category: Service Product-Unit (Access-Type)
- Metric: Year
- Duration: 12 months
- Description: Access to city-wide swap network for specified duration
- Context: Geographic coverage (city-level), station availability
Charging Network Access – City – 12 Months¶
- Category: Service Product-Unit (Access-Type)
- Metric: Year
- Duration: 12 months
- Description: Access to city-wide charging network for specified duration
- Context: Geographic coverage (city-level), charger availability
Asset Assignment – Vehicle – Daily¶
- Category: Service Product-Unit (Access-Type)
- Metric: Day
- Duration: 1 day (or multi-day as defined)
- Description: Time-bounded assignment of a specific asset (e.g., vehicle) to a user, binding the asset ITEM ID from THING (DIRAC/ARM) to the service plan
- Context: Non-fungible service; references concrete asset instance. Used as runtime realization of Contract PUs (WARRANTY, PRIVILAGE, RENTAL). In BSS, binds specific vehicle to swap service plan at purchase/activation.
- Prerequisites: Concrete asset instance available in THING, Contract PU defining entitlement scope
Gage-Type Services¶
Definition: Monetize usage metrics. No duration field required; charged per unit of consumption.
Battery Swap Usage – 45Ah – Per Swap¶
- Category: Service Product-Unit (Gage-Type)
- Metric: Count (per swap event)
- Description: Single battery swap transaction for 45Ah battery
- Prerequisites: Active Swap Privilege – MotBat 45Ah
Battery Swap Usage – 45Ah – Pack of 50¶
- Category: Service Product-Unit (Gage-Type)
- Metric: Count (50 swaps)
- Description: Pre-purchased pack of 50 swap transactions for 45Ah battery
- Prerequisites: Active Swap Privilege – MotBat 45Ah
Energy Usage – kWh¶
- Category: Service Product-Unit (Gage-Type)
- Metric: kWh
- Description: Energy consumption metered per kilowatt-hour
- Context: Charging infrastructure, telemetry integration
Service Bundling Rules¶
Duration Alignment Requirement:
When bundling Access-Type services, their durations must match. For example:
- ✅ Valid: Battery Swap Access (7 days) + Swap Network Access (7 days)
- ❌ Invalid: Battery Swap Access (7 days) + Swap Network Access (30 days)
Gage-Type services can be bundled with any Access-Type service, as they do not have duration constraints.
Common Attributes¶
All Service Product-Units have:
- Service Level Agreements (SLAs) — Response time, availability guarantees
- Scope Definitions — Geographic coverage, network boundaries, capacity limits
- Context Requirements — Valid customer account, active payment method, prerequisite contracts
Obligations¶
When selling Service Product-Units, we commit to:
- Performance Guarantees — Uptime, response times, service quality standards
- Support Availability — Customer support channels, escalation procedures
- Network Maintenance — Infrastructure upkeep, station/charger operational readiness
- Fair Usage Policies — Capacity management, usage limits where applicable
