Currently, there is no prior art that solves multiple problems for high demand for charging electric vehicles. This patent is offering (i) Peer to Peer EV charge sharing solution that solves this demand which also solves range anxiety problem for EV drivers in a seamless charge location finder with seamless payment process and secured charging process that uses encryption and authentication process (ii) Integration with Internet of Things (IoT) in charging infrastructure is offered in this patent. This is useful as the charging unit can communicate directly to the electric vehicle's communication ecosystem for the state of its battery's charging needs and take action accordingly to find the nearest charger and the automated payment process without the intervention from the EV drivers (iii) The invention, further solves charging unit downtime and loss of revenue by doing predictive maintenance so that EV charging station managers can schedule maintenance ahead of time (iv) The usefulness of this invention is further achieved by seamless and automated payment integration for secured, efficient and transparent payment process using the block chain.
