A Nigerian energy company is planning to launch a blockchain-powered electric vehicle charging station in Port Harcourt.
The company behind the project, Egoras Technology, said it would commence operation in Port Harcourt on June 8.
Powered by Egoras’ proprietary blockchain solution, Egochain, Egostation ensures enhanced transparency and incentivizes station ownership, fostering the widespread adoption of EVs across Nigeria.

Egostation’s cutting-edge Level 3 DC fast charging system enables rapid charging, with the capability to charge an electric vehicle up to 80% within just 20 minutes, making it an ideal solution for the dynamic needs of modern EV owners.
The startup revealed that Level 3 charging stations, like Egostation, are equipped with DC fast chargers. Compared to traditional Level 2 AC chargers, DC fast chargers deliver significantly faster charging times.
This is because DC chargers bypass the car’s onboard AC/DC converter, delivering direct current to the battery for a more efficient and rapid charging process.
