Let's be real—EV charging is still a mess. Multiple apps. Incompatible networks. Hidden fees. As fellow EV enthusiasts, we've been there, done that, and we're building something better.
So let us dive into how blockchain is disrupting the charging status quo. No corporate jargon. No empty promises. Just the innovations actually changing how we power our rides.
What'sHappeningRightNow
EnergyWeb'sEVChargingToolkitGainingTraction
EnergyWeb's open-source EV charging toolkit has recently been adopted by major European utilities including E.ON and Elia Group. Their blockchain solution is specifically addressing the authentication challenge across charging networks, with over 250,000 charging sessions processed in February 2025 alone.
Key development: Their partnership with the MOBI alliance has expanded the protocol's reach to North American charging networks, with pilots now active in California, Texas, and Ontario.
Share&Charge:GrowingBeyondEurope
After successful implementation across European markets, Share&Charge has officially launched operations in Asia, partnering with NIO in China and Ola Electric in India to extendtheir blockchain-based Open Charging Network (OCN).Latest numbers: They've integrated with 27 different charging providers, connecting 150,000+ charging points with unified payment processing that's slashed transaction fees by 64% compared to traditional payment methods.
EVgo×Solana:High-SpeedCharging+High-SpeedTransactions
EVgo's partnership with Solana blockchain launched in February 2025 has revolutionized their payment processing. Their "Charge & Go" system eliminates traditional payment authorization delays with transaction finality in under 400 milliseconds.Real-world impact: The system has already processed over 1.2 million charging sessions, with customer satisfaction scores up 27% due to faster start times and transparent pricing.
Under-the-RadarInnovations
ChargePointandVeChain'sSupplyChainVerification
ChargePoint's collaboration with VeChain goes beyond payments—they're now using blockchain to verify the entire supply chain of charging equipment components, ensuring all materials are sustainably sourced and stations are built with verified parts.Why it matters: This addresses growing consumer demand for transparent sustainability credentials while reducing counterfeit components that have plagued the industry
ElectrifyAmerica'sRenewableEnergyCertificates
Electrify America has launched a blockchain-based system that generates tokenized Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) when customers charge during periods of high renewable energy production.Practical benefit: Users earn tradable tokens that can be used for discounts on future chargingsessions or redeemed for cash, incentivizing charging during green energy peaks.
TheRoadBumpsAhead
Despite impressive momentum, challenges remain:
- Interoperabilitystandards are still being defined by the newly formed Blockchain in Transport Alliance (BiTA) EV Working Group.
- Regulatoryframeworks for machine-to-machine payments vary wildly by jurisdiction, creating compliance headaches.
- Consumereducation remains a barrier—many EV owners don't understand the benefits blockchain brings to charging.
We're at the inflection point where blockchain technology is moving from pilot programs to mainstream adoption in EV charging infrastructure. The projects gaining real traction aren't theoretical—they're solving immediate pain points in authentication, payment processing, grid integration, and energy attribution. This isn't just about smoother transactions—it's about creating an intelligent charging ecosystem that will make EVs the obvious choice for everyone. And that's where we're focusing our efforts.
