Open Charging Cloud https://open.charging.cloud

Driving an electric car is fun! Yes, really! Get into one, pump up the amp and enjoy this acceleration! But there is still one thing about electric cars and all our new gadgets in general: When you enjoy them the most, their battery will be low. While it is easy to recharge e.g. your phone, you still need 40-70 apps or RFID cards and a bit of luck to find a car charging spot that will still be free when you reach it.
This all is caused as no modern data market places exist today. We want to solve this by turning this problem upside down: In the future every data you need (for charging) is freely available as Open Data and additional smart contracts and blockchains will help you to verify this high quality data and will automatically incentivise and refund the data and application providers. You no longer pay high prices for access to small data silos or for data-driven services based on bad and outdated data!
