The Decentralized E-Car Charge Station Marketplace

Idea

• Advertise private E-car charging stations to public
• P2P settlement on using IOTA
• Decentralize E-car charing provides --> incentivize quicker adoption

First PoC for charging stations using IOTA: https://medium.com/@harmvandenbrink/how-elaadnl-built-a-poc-charge-station-running-fully-on-iota-and-iota-only-e16ed4c4d4d5

Payment approach: trust in IOT device OR pay per minute in advance (worst case: loose payment for a minute)
