1. THE FUTURE OF ELECTRIC
VEHICLES AND
EV CHARGING

2.  As more and more automobile manufacturers are
introducing new models electric vehicles, one of
the major concerns is still there – How will these
Electric Vehicles be charged? In the post Covid-
19 scenario there are number of incentives
including installing more charging stations. Not
only this – many companies and industry analysts
are offering their insights, predictions and
solutions for a greener and cleaner EV charging
future. As a result number of solutions comes up
which include – smarter software, incentives,
apps, load balancing and block chain.

3. EV Charging – A Problem for
Future EV Buyers
 One of the most important aspects of EV
infrastructure is home charging and it is very
important and not getting enough attention.
There are problems with public charging and
also there is a huge gap between awareness
and the actual number of charging stations. EV
users are not aware where public charging
station are. So, we need to use signage and in
addition we need stress upon the education
and awareness

4.  Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, potential EV
buyers like to charge at homes because when
they are charging at home, that they doesn’t
risk themselves to catch Corona Virus by
touching a dirty fuel pump handle. However,
there is still a maze of incentives that are
difficult to navigate when installing chargers at
home. The good news is that once consumers
buy an EV, they have the highest satisfaction
rates amongst vehicle owners.

5. FREE EV CHARGING OR FEE EV
CHARGING –
 During the pandemic and stay-at-home
mandates, more people are learning that a slow
trickle level one charge at home is enough for
them

6.  The next big thing coming up to charging is
the ISO 15118; a standard that will not require
swiping a card to pay for electric vehicle charging.
It makes other charging systems more like
the Noodoe Chargers. Another trend in charging is
that, when people start using fast-charging, they
don’t want to go back to slow charging. EV
owners will have to start realizing that free
charging won’t last much longer.
 In fact, with its recent price decreases on
vehicles, Tesla is no longer including free charging
for the Model S and X. More chargers are
required to make economies of scale and most
likely there will be a spike in prices that will
eventually flatten out.

7. WHY USE BLOCK CHAIN FOR
EV CHARGING?
 Block-chain is a way of securing digital
information and automating interaction
between devices. Basically, block-chain
consists of an algorithm to order information
and share data. Block-chain supplies a
framework for identity for different
infrastructures to relate with each other.

9.  Block-chain could also be important for creating ways in
which multiple parties could share in the revenue of EV
charging as well as for the electric service operators to help
with balancing infrastructure.
 Use case scenarios for block-chain in EV charging would be
in the process of vehicle-to-grid and peer-to-peer EV charger
sharing which could also spur more EV sales. When
consumers are looking to buy cars and they know they could
get paid $50 a month for their personal charging station or by
sending energy back to the grid then they may decide to buy
that vehicle.
 Block-chain is emerging as an exciting technology that can
help many services work together, automate EV charging and
solve problems while providing monetary incentives.
