A. Alpha North America Sales Plan
Alpha plans to sell cars in North America through a combination of direct sales and online ordering.
Below is an overview of how Alpha plans to sell vehicles in North America:
Online Sales Platform: Alpha will establish a user-friendly online platform where customers can browse our EV models, configure options, and place orders conveniently. The primary method for purchasing an Alpha vehicle will be through the company website (www.alphamotorinc.com). A beta site is currently in progress and expected for testing coincidentally with the completion of the Wolf driving test vehicle. Customers will be able to configure their desired vehicle model, choose optional features, and place an order online. The website will provide detailed information about each model, including pricing, specifications, and estimated delivery timelines.
Virtual Showrooms: Through virtual reality technology, customers will be able to experience our vehicles in immersive virtual showrooms, enhancing accessibility and reducing overhead costs.
Test Drives and Mobile Test Drive Fleet: Alpha plans to operate numerous showrooms and brand experience shops across North America where potential customers will be able to view the vehicles, ask questions to Alpha representatives, and in some cases, take test drives. These locations will also serve as information centers where customers will be able to learn more about Alpha's technology, charging infrastructure, and overall ownership experience. In addition to showrooms, Alpha will maintain a fleet of mobile test drive vehicles, enabling customers to test vehicles at their preferred locations, providing a personalized and convenient experience.
Delivery Centers: Once an order is placed, Alpha will arrange for the delivery of the vehicle to a designated Alpha delivery center or, in some cases, directly to the customer's specified location. Delivery centers will serve as a point of contact for customers to collect their vehicles, receive any necessary documentation, and have an Alpha representative provide an overview of the vehicle's features and functionalities.
High Voltage Charging (HVC) Network: Alpha will seek opportunities to invest in a proprietary network of HVC stations across North America, offering high-speed charging infrastructure for Alpha owners as well as work in collaboration with charging infrastructure companies. These HVC stations will allow for long-distance travel and efficient charging. Alpha vehicle owners can expect to use the HVC network at no additional cost or with a nominal fee, depending on the vehicle model and agreement.
Please note the exact sales process may vary slightly depending on local laws and regulations, as each state or province in North America may have specific rules regarding car sales and dealership models. However, our goal will be to make Alpha's direct sales approach consistent across most regions in North America.
B. Alpha Vehicle Lease Plan
Alpha plans to offer leasing options for customers who prefer to lease a vehicle rather than purchasing it outright. Please note specific terms, conditions, and availability may vary by region.
Below is an outline of how Alpha plans to lease its vehicles to customers:
Lease Structure and Terms: Alpha plans to offer leasing options with specific lease terms, such as lease duration (typically 36 months), mileage limits, and monthly payments. These terms will vary based on the region and specific leasing program.
Online Ordering: Customers will be able to initiate the leasing process by visiting Alpha's website and configuring the desired vehicle. The website will allow customers to choose the model, select optional features, and estimate lease payments based on the chosen configuration.
Application and Approval: To proceed with the lease, customers will be required to submit a lease application to Alpha. The application process will involve providing personal information, employment details, and a credit check. The results of the credit check will determine various levels of qualification or disqualification. Alpha will evaluate the application and approve the lease if the customer meets the required criteria.
Down Payment and Fees: Upon lease approval, customers may be required to make a down payment, which will be due at the time of signing the lease agreement. Additionally, certain fees such as acquisition fees, documentation fees, and taxes may apply, which will vary based on regional regulations.
Monthly Payments: Throughout the lease term, customers will be able to make monthly payments to Alpha based on the agreed-upon lease terms. The lease payment will include the cost of vehicle depreciation and finance charges. The payment amount will be determined by factors such as the vehicle's price, residual value, lease duration, mileage limits, and lease application.
End of Lease Options: At the end of the lease term, customers will have several options. Customers will be able to choose to return the vehicle to Alpha, purchase the vehicle at a predetermined residual value, or potentially extend the lease, depending on the available options and regional policies.
Please note that lease availability, terms, and pricing will vary based on the customer's location.
C. Alpha Vehicle Maintenance Plan
Alpha plans to provide maintenance services to its customers through a combination of methods, including service centers, mobile service, and remote diagnostics.
Below is an overview of how Alpha plans to provide maintenance services to its customers:
Alpha Service Centers: Alpha plans to operate numerous service centers across North America and other regions where customers will be able to bring their vehicles for maintenance and repairs. These service centers will be staffed with Alpha-trained technicians who are knowledgeable about the specific requirements and intricacies of Alpha vehicles. Customers will be able to schedule appointments through their Alpha Account or by contacting the service center directly.
Mobile Service: Alpha will also offer a convenient mobile service option for certain maintenance and repair tasks. Instead of visiting a service center, Alpha's mobile service technicians will be able to come to the customer's specified location, such as their home or workplace, to perform routine maintenance, minor repairs, or inspections. This service will be available in select areas and customers will be able to schedule service through their Alpha Account or by contacting Alpha's support team.
Remote Diagnostics and Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates: Alpha vehicles will be equipped with advanced onboard computer systems that enable remote diagnostics. If an issue is detected with the vehicle, Alpha will be able to remotely analyze the data and diagnose the problem without the need for the customer to visit a service center. Additionally, Alpha will routinely provide over-the-air software updates that will improve vehicle performance, add new features, or address potential issues.
Alpha Emergency Program: In some cases, when a vehicle requires maintenance or repair that cannot be addressed through mobile service or remote diagnostics, Alpha may utilize its Emergency program. This program involves dispatching an Alpha technician to the customer's location to perform the necessary repairs or maintenance.
Alpha VIP Program: Customer will be able to enroll into a VIP service program for an additional fee. Alpha will aim to provide a personalized and premium experience for its customers. Some authorized dealerships and service centers will be equipped to offer VIP services, where authorized Alpha Specialists (representatives with advanced training and degrees in Alpha vehicles) will assist customers with various aspects of vehicle service, such as scheduling appointments, arranging loaner vehicles, and providing updates on the progress of the service or repairs.
Please note the availability of services and the specific procedures may vary by location.
D. Alpha Vehicle Warranty Plan
Alpha plans to offer warranties to provide coverage for its vehicles and ensure customer satisfaction. The specifics of Alpha's warranty coverage will vary over time and by region.
New Vehicle Limited Warranty: When a customer purchases a new Alpha vehicle, it will come with a New Vehicle Limited Warranty. This warranty will provide coverage for a specified period, which may vary based on the vehicle model and components. The New Vehicle Limited Warranty covers the repair or replacement of any defective parts or workmanship issues that arise during the warranty period.
Battery and Drive Unit Warranty: Alpha will offer a separate warranty specifically for the battery and drive unit of its vehicles. The duration and terms of this warranty may vary depending on the model and region. Alpha will provide coverage for the battery and drive unit for a specified number of years or miles, offering protection against defects or malfunctions that result in a significant drop in battery capacity or drive unit performance.
Extended Warranty Options: Alpha will offer extended warranty options for customers who wish to extend their coverage beyond the standard warranty period. These extended warranties will provide additional coverage for specific components and customers will be able to purchase it for an additional cost.
Maintenance and Service Requirements: Alpha's warranty coverage will be subject to certain maintenance and service requirements. It will be important for owners to follow the recommended maintenance schedule and have their vehicles serviced at authorized Alpha service centers or as outlined in the warranty documentation which will be provided to every customer. Failure to comply with the maintenance requirements specified by Alpha will void certain aspects of the warranty coverage.
Transferability: In some cases, Alpha's warranty coverage will be able to be transferable to subsequent owners if the vehicle is sold within the warranty period. This is projected to add value to the vehicle and provide peace of mind to future buyers.
Alpha plans to make available the warranty documentation on Alpha's official website and it will also be provided at the time of vehicle purchase, which will include information on what is covered, the duration of coverage, and any exclusions or requirements.
