Abstract

The Digital economy is based on confidence in its trustworthiness. Blockchain distributed consensus provides a reliable and trustful network for financial and non-financial transactions. Blockchain-based electric vehicles (EVs) charging applications benefit blockchain features to provide automated and verifiable services for EV charging market. Requirements for feasible charging operation and privacy concerns are challenging issues with blockchain-based EV charging approaches. To provide a feasible charging ability and preserve EV owner's privacy, we introduce EVChain. The EVChain is a trustful and decentralized platform based on blockchain technology to share charging credits in the EV charging market. To share credits, the main blockchain in EVChain is connected to one or more subnetwork blockchains. We introduce an interconnection position to preserve EV owners' privacy with k-anonymity protection. We simulate and evaluate the privacy protection it provides, based on an example EV charging scenario.
