A blockchain-based electric vehicle charging platform trial gets $1M from the Canadian government
A pilot project for a blockchain-based electric vehicle charging platform has received $1 million in funding from Natural Resources Canada. The 3 years trial will be directed by SWITCH energy, an electric vehicle charging platform and Opus One Solutions, an intelligent energy software developer, to lower the cost of electric vehicle charging transactions and improve grid efficiency.
The project will test two different technologies on a pair of buildings in downtown Toronto. The first will turn electric vehicles into a power source for building residents by using a bi-directional charging technique, the vehicles will be charged up overnight using inexpensive electricity and can then supply excess power to buildings at peak times during the day. The second, will track energy usage and billing with blockchain technology. Learn more
