Abstract
Ecumenical carbon dioxide (CO <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">2</sub> ) emission emanates from car, bus, taxi, and motorcycle is around 45%. Electric vehicle could be the major contributor to abbreviate the pollution level in a transportation sector. According to the Forbes report the ecumenical passenger electric vehicle demand expected to reach 15% in 2025, and 23% in 2030. This research provides a blockchain predicated solution for a pre-owned electric vehicle market that could engender a trust, transparency, immutable records, and an efficient way to track the entire life cycle of a futuristic electric vehicle supply chain. At present most of the pre-owned electric conveyance purchase transpires through the third-party accommodations, websites, and mobile applications. This does not provide the authentic information on electric conveyance history, charging capabilities of the battery, history of the charging records, and performance of the driver (wear and tear affect battery life). Our solution implemented utilizing hybrid blockchain technology. Each stakeholder assigned with the Ethereum blockchain address to track the vehicle records as a distributed ledger. This design considered electric vehicle manufacturer, charging station, battery manufacturer, road convey ascendancy as major stakeholders. Astute contract designed with solidity programming. Truffle platform used to deploy keenly intellective contract in private blockchain that ascertain the privacy of electric conveyance owners and other stakeholders. Meta mask a mobile application utilized kovan network for tracking vehicle in a public blockchain. This application tested with 0.1 Ether for each transaction. Blockchain Electric Vehicle Cloud of Things (BEVCoT) concept proposed to integrate the IoT-Blockchain application in a cloud environment.
Highlights
Based on the literature review we found that there is a huge potential to implement the blockchain in electric vehicle sector
The terminus-to-end process is monitored through the Ethereum blockchain
Simulation of blockchain transaction of conveyance tested with the Ethereum sandbox platform
Summary
Expeditious developments in automobile sector, technological advancements, shortage of technical expertise, poor documentation process leads to challenges in conveyance diagnostics during pre-owned conveyance purchase [8]. Present automobile industry works as centralized system where partial conveyance records are with the road convey ascendancy, some records are with owner, few records are with indemnification company, fundamentally the conveyance records are not available in a distributed ledger, anyone could mute the data of the conveyances. This research utilizes the Ethereum blockchain technology to bring the transparency in the conveyance purchase. Blockchain connects all the stakeholder with distributed ledger that make the process simple, efficient, abbreviate delay, transparency, and engender trust
