Concept

A peer-to-peer electric vehicle (EV) charging platform powered by a scalable, efficient NoSQL database.

Objective

To expand the EV charging infrastructure by leveraging private chargers and optimizing the user experience with a reliable, scalable database solution.

Solution

Integrating Cloud-connected microcontrollers on private 240 Volt, level-2 chargers with a NoSQL database for real-time, secure transactions between EV owners and charger owners.

Revenue Model

Transaction fees from charging sessions, subscription models for premium features, and data monetization by providing insights to businesses and local governments.

Target Market

EV owners facing range anxiety, private charger owners looking to monetize their equipment, and underserved regions without sufficient public charging infrastructure.

Expansion Plan

Start in regions with the highest EV density and expand nationally, followed by targeting international markets with similar infrastructural deficits.

Potential Challenges

Hardware compatibility and installation, user privacy concerns, and ensuring network reliability and responsiveness.

Customer Problem

Insufficient public EV charging infrastructure leading to range anxiety among EV owners, especially in underserved regions.

Regulatory and Ethical Issues

Compliance with electric grid usage and safety standards, data privacy and security regulations (e.g., GDPR), and transparent pricing.

Disruptiveness

Decentralizes and expands the EV charging infrastructure beyond traditional stations, incentivizes private investments, and drives adoption of EVs.
