C4E Early Access Program
Smart Island Ibiza and C4E: Introducing EV Solutions to Iberian Peninsula.
We’re excited to announce our partnership with C4E to help in accelerating their EAP adoption and deployment of EV stations in iconic locations across Ibiza, Spain and high-end villas in the Algarve, Portugal.
Over the next months, we’ll ensure these solutions remain efficient, practical and known to the local EV Communities.
About the C4E Project:
C4E uses Layer1 Blockchain technology to improve the energy and e-mobility sectors with their Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) architecture. DePIN focuses on creating secure and transparent energy transactions and automated contracts. By integrating blockchain technology, C4E aims to support decentralised and community-focused energy systems.
The Vision
We envision a future where blockchain technology supports not just energy or e-mobility systems but a wide range of decentralised infrastructures. By integrating AI and IoT, C4E aims to optimise existing systems and explore new applications for blockchain technology, creating smarter, more efficient networks.
Our Approach:
1.
To ensure this partnership is successful and the C4E EV chargers work well, we have planned several introductory scenarios to gather feedback over the first months, focusing on user experience, performance, market impact, adoption rate and sustainability.
2.
We will start by installing the EV chargers at selected high-end villas and focus on their adoption. This will help us see how easy and user-friendly the chargers are in these settings. We will document any issues during installation, initial setup, and daily use, and compare the user experience with other charging stations.
3.
Next, we will evaluate the DePIN tokenisation model to see how well it works and if users understand it. Crypto wallets linked to the chargers will be set up, used regularly, all with the distribution of tokens under constant surveillance for any troubleshooting.
4.
We will collect feedback on the tokenization process, looking at how easy it is to receive and manage tokens.
5.
We will also check the chargers’ performance and reliability by installing them at different villas with varying usage patterns. Monitoring their performance over time will allow us to record any issues or downtimes and compare performance across locations.
6.
In terms of marketing, we aim to utilise the impact of using iconic balearic locations. We will capture high-quality photos and videos of the EV chargers in use, share these visuals through our social media posts, and track engagement metrics. This will help us gauge the effectiveness of our marketing efforts.
7.
We will evaluate the sustainability of using C4E EV chargers by monitoring their energy usage and comparing it to traditional methods. We will seek data on energy consumption and carbon footprint reduction to assess the environmental benefits.
8.
Lastly, we will set up a robust data collection and reporting system. By tracking usage data and collecting it bi-weekly, we will analyse trends and create detailed reports for the founders, ensuring our findings are useful for future improvements.
Conclusion
Our partnership with C4E is an exciting chance for deployment and in-practice-trial of their innovative EV charging technology.
By focusing on user experience, performance, sustainability, and marketing, we aim to gather valuable insights to improve these solutions.
