Powering The EV Industry Requires Blockchain To Be At Its Heart

The growing popularity of electric vehicles, as well as the ongoing challenges around constructing the charging infrastructure necessary to make their widespread rollout possible, is challenging a range of technology based applications to demonstrate their role within the new industry - and blockchain is at the heart of this.

EV development and blockchain

Data storage and optimisation are the clear frontrunners where this core role is concerned, given blockchain's decentralised ledger which stores data transactions accurately while using unique crypto based technology to ensure that each transaction in the 'chain' is linked to the last one. This provides extra security where transactions are concerned and the need to collect, analyse and utilise data collected while driving is essential to an EV's performance, usability and safety. That data is even more critical with an EV because the battery is sensitive to abuse. Given the battery is the costliest part of the
