Open Charging Cloud https://open.charging.cloud
Driving an electric car is fun! Yes, really! Get into one, pump up the
amp and enjoy this acceleration! I promise you will become as crazy as
when you unpacked your first iPhone :)
But there is still one thing about iPhones and electric cars: When you
enjoy them the most, the battery will be low. Bad luck for any
electric car driver: You will just need 40 apps to find a charging spot. At least one RFID card or login from more than 70 providers and a bit of luck that the spot is still free when you reach it. Clearly,
even today charging an electric car still more like sending a SMS on an old NOKIA phone.
We want to turn this problem upside down: Every data you need for
charging is freely available to you and automatic measurements, smart
contracts and blockchains will help you to verify and incentivise high
quality open data and a high overall service quality. You no longer pay high prices for bad data driven services!
