Dominant Consumer Motivation
Finances — TCO & Cost Predictability
Critical across all four segments. Structural energy cost advantage (≤$0.04/kWh vs $0.10-0.18/kWh) is the single strongest differentiator. All other desire dimensions are enabled by the financial structure — sovereignty, ESG, and hardware access are secondary selection criteria once TCO clears the threshold.
