Extended Abstract: Evaluating Cross-Chain Platforms for EV Charging Payment Systems
摘要
This paper examines the application of blockchain technology in electric vehicle (EV) charging payment systems, focusing on a comparative analysis of four EVM-supported platforms: Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Fantom, and Celo. As the EV market expands, traditional payment methods struggle to meet the unique requirements of charging infrastructure, such as real-time pricing and seamless user experiences across networks. We analyze these platforms’ performance in three key operations: transaction creation, NFT minting, and NFT transfer, considering factors like transaction fees, gas limits, gas usage, and gas prices. The study aims to provide insights into the suitability of each platform for real-world EV charging applications, addressing the challenges of implementing blockchain-based payment in this domain.
