Electric vehicle (EV) charging is notoriously complicated in comparison to getting fuel for a traditional fossil-fuel vehicle. There are no unified rules on the type of hardware or payment solutions that charging stations need to offer. This makes it more difficult than necessary for EV drivers to recharge.
For example, while Tesla’s supercharger network is opening up to non-Tesla EVs, it is still very difficult for non-Tesla EV drivers to charge using this network due to continued hardware and payment solution barriers.
Meanwhile, there doesn’t currently exist a framework where EV drivers can pay a charging station directly for its services without needing to go through a third-party intermediary. And there doesn’t currently exist a universal third-party subscription solution for EV charging station access.
But a new crypto start-up called C+Charge is looking to remedy these problems. C+Charge is building an EV charging payments platform that will not require any subscriptions to use, can be used by all charging stations, and will allow EV drivers to pay EV charging station providers directly in a peer-to-peer manner via the blockchain. Essentially, EV drivers will pay charging stations directly using C+Charge’s native crypto token CCHG.
C+Charge, which is currently building its platform and setting up partnerships with EV charging station providers across the world, hopes to become the dominant EV charging payment solution. One of the platform’s key aims is to make EV charging a much smoother process, which is why it will also offer users a host of other useful features, such as
