In recent years, a series of incidents have drawn society's attention to issues of environmental awareness and energy security. As a result, electric vehicles (hereafter, "EV") are attracting attention around the world. To stimulate their economies, countries are preparing measures and policies to acquire EV-related core technologies and develop new markets quickly. In this paper, we argue that, given these circumstances, the development of open source businesses in the EV industry will contribute to solving a wide variety of problems, from industry-specific to social issues. Furthermore, we advance the hypothesis that this strategy may prove to be a model both sustainable and profitable. As has been the case for the SIM-Drive Corporation described in this paper as an example of an open source business, a joint development scheme centering on core technologies cannot only maintain its technologies' added values but also promote the development of associated industries as well as contribute indirectly to the environment, which has been a growing issue in recent years. Additionally, the business model includes the success factors of conventional open source businesses, suggesting its profitability. The excellence of this business model is that it plays the role of a hub in the shift from longitudinal to lateral business models, which is currently required in the industry SIM-LEI, the result of the first project, is a concrete example of our hypothesis. In the EV industry, where quick and efficient responses to social needs are required, the open source business can be considered highly effective with respect to both public benefit and the business aspects. Like the business model which SIM-Drive Corporation especially is promoting, tailoring and optimizing management methods to the state of the industry allows one to acquire a greater advantage with one's business model.
