“…Blockchain was first proposed in 2008, and it was utilized mainly to develop a currency exchange system for some time [ 13 ]. Later in 2014, Ethereum came up with the concept of smart contracts, which influenced researchers to utilize blockchains in different fields [ 52 , 53 ].…”

“…A blockchain is a decentralized, distributed, open ledger, and each node in the network has a copy of the ledger. It was developed as a peer-to-peer network without third-party intervention [ 13 ]. The blockchain’s integrity is based on strong cryptography and hash functions that provide validation and chain blocks together on transactions, making it nearly impossible to tamper with a block or any individual transaction without being detected [ 14 ].…”

The popularity of electric vehicles (EVs) is constantly increasing, as they use relatively greener, sustainable energy. However, it is a fact that the charging stations for EVs are yet to meet the demand. It could be a great solution if a peer-to-peer (P2P) charging system could be initiated by anyone who wants to make their garage’s charge points publicly available for commercial purposes, named a home charging station (HCS). In this work, our idea is to bring interested charging stations under a network of nodes and a blockchain-based management system, where the blockchain is responsible for ensuring the authenticity of both the charging stations and charge receiver. A cryptocurrency-based payment system has also been proposed to ensure transactions’ security, integrity, transparency, and immutability. A reputation management system is applied to maintain the quality of service. Miners with high processing power are used to alleviate lagging during block creation, supported by edge servers. The proposed system has been implemented by using virtual machines. A theoretical analysis is presented to assess the compatibility and possible cost requirements to implement the system in a real-world scenario.
