What it does
DeCharge is building a community-owned EV charging network by combining physical charging hardware with decentralised finance (DePINFi). The network allows individuals to purchase and host physical charging stations, ranging from home-friendly 3.3kW chargers to enterprise-grade fast chargers, or fractionally invest in charging infrastructure. By decentralising ownership, DeCharge aims to accelerate the deployment of EV charging stations globally while sharing the generated revenue with hosts and liquidity providers.
How it works
Hosts install a DeCharge physical charger at their home or business. EV drivers use the DeCharge app to locate and pay for charging sessions. The revenue generated from these sessions is distributed to the hosts and fractional owners on-chain.
How to participate
You can participate by ordering and hosting a DeCharge charger (Mini or Beast), supplying liquidity to DePINFi pools for fractional ownership, or downloading the DeCharge app to locate and use chargers.
Requirements
- Hardware
- DeCharge proprietary charging hardware, such as the Mini (3.3kW AC charger) or The Beast (7.4kW AC charger).
- Software
- DeCharge mobile application.
Pros and cons
Strengths
- Offers fractional ownership of EV infrastructure through tokenisation.
- Multiple hardware options tailored for home, fleet, or public charging.
- Enables passive income generation from real-world utility.
Drawbacks
- Hardware pricing is not transparently listed on the main landing page.
- Revenue is highly dependent on local EV adoption and charger utilisation rates.
- Liquidity pools may be subject to lock-up periods.
Risks
Participants face risks related to hardware downtime, lower-than-expected local charger usage, regulatory changes, smart contract vulnerabilities, and potential lock-up periods for supplied liquidity.
Questions people ask
- What is DeCharge?
- DeCharge is a decentralized EV charging network powered by DePINFi (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure + Finance). It enables EV owners to charge anywhere, while giving individuals the chance to own, host, or invest in charging stations.
- What is DePINFi?
- DePINFi combines DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks) with DeFi (Decentralized Finance). It makes EV chargers tokenized and investable, letting people supply capital or host chargers while earning transparent, on-chain returns.
