WeCharge is an outdoor electric vehicle universal charging system
WeCharge is an outdoor electric vehicle universal charging system, which provides a necessary solution to the growing vehicle pollution issues and electric transport opportunities in the whole world.
Theoretically, to charge your vehicle all you need is access to the electricity. In reality, you have to pay and this means measuring consumption. This is where WeCharge, a smart internet enabled power socket comes in. It lets people share energy. To use it, install it at any place people park vehicles, so they can plug it in, scan the socket’s QR code with the smartphone and charging starts. Scanning identifies the socket and turns on the juice! To pay, with integrated micropayment, charging is a breeze. Instead of paying each provider separately, WeCharge takes care of the whole process. Charging time and effort for both the vehicle owner and socket provider is minimized. Even the smallest transactions can be processed without extra cost.
