Finding
Most of what makes an EV software-defined belongs to its platform, so each profile inherits it from the platform record
Voltage class, E/E architecture, OTA scope, SDV maturity and inverter technology are decided when a platform is engineered, not model by model. ElectronsX classifies each platform once (Tesla's Model 3/Y platform, Hyundai's E-GMP, Volkswagen's MEB, BYD's e-Platform 3.0 and Super e-Platform, Mercedes-Benz MMA) and every model on it inherits those values, with a model-level override only where a car really differs.
That makes the profiles comparable across makers and countries. A Kia EV6 and a Genesis GV60 show the same 800 V, E-GMP architecture because they share it; a BYD Seal and a Tesla Model 3 can be compared on E/E architecture and OTA scope rather than on screen size. Autonomy readiness comes from a separate record that names the ADAS system, compute chip and sensors, and links robotaxi versions to Robotaxi Fleets and to supplier rings on Flagship Machines. Fleet readiness appears only for models fleets actually use.
The page address stays fixed for the life of the record. When a model ends production its status changes and the page stays, so links and search results keep working; when trims are folded into one canonical model, their old addresses resolve to the master page. Platform-level comparisons are on the EV Platform Index, and an example profile is the Tesla Model Y.
Sections
What each profile section shows
Sections without data for a model are left out rather than shown empty.
| Section | What it shows | Framework |
|---|---|---|
| General | Status, segment, markets, where it is built, list price with currency and price basis | EV Pricing Explained |
| Body and design | Body style, seats and seat rows, doors and door type | EV Model Structure |
| Performance | Power, torque, acceleration by test, top speed, range listed per cycle (EPA, WLTP, CLTC) | EV Range Explained |
| Battery and charging | Usable capacity, chemistry, cell supplier, DC peak and stated charge window, onboard AC charger, V2L/V2H/V2G | EV Charging Explained |
| Chassis and dynamics | Four-wheel steering, steer-by-wire, damping, air suspension, torque vectoring; off-road geometry only on off-road models | Off-Road EVs |
| Platform and architecture | Platform, platform type, voltage, E/E architecture, OTA scope, SDV maturity, inverter, cell-to design | Automaker EV Platforms |
| Cabin intelligence | Screen layout, HUD or AR-HUD, branded audio, named AI assistant | SDV Capability Layers |
| Autonomy readiness | ADAS system, SAE level, supervision, compute chip, sensors and lidar, robotaxi role and operator | Autonomy Levels |
| Fleet readiness | Fleet roles, telematics and data access, duty cycle, fleet scores where they exist | Fleet Scoring Framework |
| Lineup | Other models from the same maker and on the same platform | Maker portfolio pages |
Classifications
Classifications on every profile
| Classification | Values | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Role | production, halo, concept, robotaxi | Why the model exists: retail sale, image car, show car or driverless fleet vehicle |
| Status | available, announced, shown, concept, fleet only, discontinued, cancelled | Where it stands now; a change of status never removes the page |
| Segment | Budget to Ultra-luxury | Price and positioning class, judged in the home market |
| Platform type | dedicated EV, multi-energy, multi-energy (EV-first), ICE-derived | Whether the architecture was designed for batteries first |
| Voltage | 400, 800, 900, 1,000 | Pack architecture class; sets fast-charging current and inverter design |
| E/E architecture | distributed, domain, zonal | How the electronics are organized, from many ECUs to a few zone controllers around central compute |
| OTA scope | none, infotainment, partial, full-vehicle | What the maker can update over the air: screens only, or powertrain, chassis and ADAS too |
| SDV maturity | legacy, transitional, software-defined | The overall software-defined vehicle verdict for the platform |
| Inverter | SiC, IGBT, mixed | Silicon carbide or silicon power switches in the traction inverter |
| ADAS level and supervision | L2, L2+, L3, L4; supervised, eyes-off, driverless | What the system does and who is responsible while it does it |
| Robotaxi role | none, host, purpose-built | Whether the model serves a driverless fleet, and how it was built for it |
| Telematics level | full, limited, none | How much vehicle data a fleet can read through the maker's own channel |
Data rules
Data rules behind the profiles
| Rule | How it works |
|---|---|
| One page per model, trims as variants | A new model record only for a different platform, body, battery or motor layout; trims and badges are variants that resolve to the master page |
| Platform values are inherited | Voltage, E/E architecture, OTA, SDV maturity and inverter are set once per platform; a model overrides them only where it differs |
| Rows are never deleted | A discontinued or cancelled model keeps its page and address; churn is a status change with a dated note |
| Range by test cycle | EPA, WLTP and CLTC figures sit in separate fields and are never mixed or converted |
| Blank is not zero | n/a means the field does not apply by design (approach angle on a sedan); a blank means not yet known |
| Single values, stated spread | Numeric fields hold the maximum offered (cheapest price, quickest time) and the spread across variants is stated beside them |
| Price with its basis | List price in the home currency with the basis stated: US price where sold in the US, otherwise the home market |
