The study will conduct in the framework of the Open Blockchain Mobility Initiative, which is supervised by an international consortium of car manufacturers and IT companies.
Assumes that “smart grid” will use renewable energy sources, which are not always stable. Electric vehicles will help to solve this problem and smooth out dips and interruptions in the supply of electricity. In addition, for owners they will become a source of permanent income.
