Ajmery Sultana, Md Moniruzzaman, Lian Yu Zhao · 2023
In the rapidly evolving landscape of electric vehicles (EVs), blockchain technology emerges as a transformative force, empowering the industry with enhanced security, transparency, and efficiency in transactions and energy management. However, the successful integration of blockchain technology in the context of EV is still in its infancy. Thus, this work aims to provide a comprehensive study of this young field from a broader perspective. We first discuss the integration process of blockchain technology in the EV domain. Then we explore the potential applications of blockchain technology in enhancing the efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of EV infrastructure and discuss some of the promising research in each category. Finally, we provide a typical application scenario and its specific embodiment in the EV infrastructure and strive to shed light on all-inclusive future research directions, which may facilitate the integration of blockchain technology in the EV ecosystem from theory to practice.
