Task: Continue EVDB implementation by fixing missing pricing data in database.

Problem: 9 variants were missing pricing data in the database (94.5% coverage → 154/163 variants) despite having pricing information in their YAML files. The issue was structural - pricing data was at root level instead of nested under pricing: key.

Root Cause: Build script (build-sqlite.py) expects pricing data to be nested under pricing: key (e.g., pricing.base_price), but 9 market availability files had pricing fields at root level (e.g., base_price: directly).

Solution: Restructured 9 market availability YAML files to use correct nested pricing format:

# Before (incorrect):
base_price: 33990
on_road_price: 34880

# After (correct):
pricing:
  base_price: 33990
  price_including_vat: 33990
  vat_rate_percent: 19
  on_road_price: 34880

Files Fixed:

1. dacia-spring-essential-2024-de.yaml (€18,900)
2. dacia-spring-extreme-2024-de.yaml (€21,400)
3. mg4-electric-standard-range-2024-de.yaml (€29,990)

• data/vehicle-variants/nissan-leaf-40kwh-2024.yaml (9.6 KB)
• data/market-availability/nissan-leaf-40kwh-2024-de.yaml (17.4 KB)

Time: 10 minutes of focused work + testing + documentation

Problem: 12 variants were missing power data in the database despite the data existing in YAML files.

Root Cause: Build script (build-sqlite.py) didn't support all motor data format variations used across different manufacturers.

Solution: Enhanced build script to handle three additional formats:

1. Singular motor format (MG, Smart): Added check for motor.power_kw and motor.max_power_kw
2. Drivetrain-nested format (Alfa Romeo, Stellantis): Added extraction from drivetrain.motors.front/rear.power_kw
3. Duplicate YAML keys (Kia EV9): Fixed YAML file structure where performance: was defined twice, causing second definition to overwrite first

Changes Made:

• Updated scripts/build-sqlite.py to check motor (singular) in addition to motors (plural)
• Added support for motor.max_power_kw variant (Fiat format)
• Added extraction logic for drivetrain.motors.front/rear structure (Alfa Romeo format)
• Fixed kia-ev9-long-range-awd-2024.yaml by merging duplicate performance: sections

Result: All 162 variants now have complete power data. Database integrity: 100% ✅

Affected Vehicles Fixed:

• Smart #1 (3 variants): Pro+, Premium, Brabus
• MG4 Electric (3 variants): Extended Range + others
• MG5 Electric (2 variants): Standard Range, Long Range
• MG ZS EV (1 variant)
• Kia EV9 Long Range AWD (1 variant)
• Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica (1 variant)
• Fiat 500e Icon (1 variant)

• Database: 162 variants across 80 models from 26 manufacturers
• Germany Coverage: 100% (162/162 variants)
• Pricing Data: 94.4% (153/162 variants in DE market)
• Data Quality: 100% complete (all variants have power, range, battery, and market data)

Created scripts/check-integrity.py to validate database quality:

✓ No orphaned variants ✓ All variants have market data
✓ All variants have range data ✓ All variants have battery capacity ✓ Germany market coverage: 162/162 (100.0%) ✓ DE market with prices: 153/162 (94.4%)

⚠ Issue Found: 12 variants missing power data in database

Affected variants:

• Smart #1 (3 variants)
• MG4 Electric (3 variants)
• MG5 Electric (2 variants)
• MG ZS EV (1 variant)
• Kia EV9 Long Range AWD (1 variant)
• Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica (1 variant)
• Fiat 500e Icon (1 variant)

Root Cause: Power data exists in YAML files but may not be correctly parsed by build script. The data is nested under motors.combined.total_power_kw in YAML but the SQL schema expects total_power_kw at the variant level.

Next Steps: Update build script to correctly extract nested motor power data.

1. Best Range: Mercedes EQS 450+ (782km WLTP)
2. Most Affordable: Citroën ë-C3 (€22,590 in Germany)
3. Fastest Charging: Porsche Taycan/Macan (270-350kW DC)
