Cloud computing makes charging stations into big business

Two years ago, GE developed a roadside charging wattstation to solve the problem of electric vehicle endurance. It takes 12-18 hours to make a pure tram full of batteries compared to the usual charger, and the wattstation only needs 30 minutes to fill 80% of the power. There are already a number of apps that have been developed to help car owners find wattstation charging stations and view prices, and the software is targeted at Wattstation charging station operators. With it, bosses are able to set wattstation hours and charge rates through a computer or smartphone. More importantly, it can make charging stations into a very lucrative business.

Just as a convenience store owner often places an ATM near a coffee machine and charges a fee, people who own a parking lot can also earn a fee by placing wattstation charging stations on their own land property. They just need to use the software, can set up their own charging station is open to the public, or specific customers, when to open up and at what price opening, can also decide whether to charge hours or kilowatt hour billing, more can according to the user's identity, set flexible prices. For example, their subordinates and friends are free, but others are not.

GM is now working with PayPal to charge revenue from its own wattstation. Similarly, other wattstation operators can use the software to download detailed reports on their own power station revenues and real-time use, and to send email ads containing preferential information to old customers.
