Forward‑thinking developers use .xyz domains to champion innovation in AI and blockchain. AI infrastructure platform Intellex.xyz aims to bridge decentralized intelligence and blockchain coordination. Decentralized platform GetOro.xyz aims to empower individuals to contribute private data to AI development. AI-powered DEX infrastructure Mav.xyz brings programmable liquidity and smart contract control to DeFi. In this week’s #AIMonday, we’ll introduce you to a decentralized EV charging network using AI-driven data intelligence to improve reliability and connectivity: Charge.xyz.

Charge.xyz: A decentralized network for smarter EV charging

Charge.xyz is the online home of Charge, a decentralized data intelligence network and mobile app designed to make electric vehicle (EV) charging more efficient and reliable. According to the company, Charge aggregates real-time charging data from drivers, third-party sources, and direct charger integrations to improve the accuracy of charger availability and enhance the charging experience for users. Charge is built on Peaq.xyz, a layer‑1 blockchain for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN), fostering on‑chain authentication, payments, and settlement for EV charging.

Leveraging AI and blockchain to improve EV charging infrastructure

Charge operates at the intersection of decentralized infrastructure and AI. According to its public materials, users can submit real-time updates through the Charge app, which, combined with data from integrated chargers and third-party sources, is refined using AI-driven analytics to promote greater accuracy and reliability. This information can help charge point operators (CPOs), eMobility Service Providers (eMSPs), and mobility platforms reduce operational inefficiencies, improve uptime, and enhance user experiences. Charge aims to address the fragmentation in EV charging networks and support a more connected and scalable charging ecosystem by leveraging Peaq’s modular DePIN functions and blockchain infrastructure.

Charge in practice

According to the company’s app store listings and public materials, Charge is already seeing real-world applications for its decentralized EV charging network and app:

  • Mobile app available on iOS and Android – The Charge app aims to help users review chargers, submit real-time data, and earn rewards, contributing to a continuously improving charging intelligence network. It is available on App Store1 as well as Google Play.2
  • Proof-of-concept dApp completed – The proof-of-concept supports charger owners in listing their stations, setting pricing, and controlling availability in a peer-to-peer network built on Peaq.3
  • Live demonstration at IAA MOBILITY in Munich – Coverage from Peaq notes that Charge participated in a peer-to-peer charging demonstration as part of the Peaq DePIN ecosystem showcase in 2023.4
