Minima, a company specializing in embedded blockchain protocols, is collaborating with Zeekr Technology Europe, the European division of Geely-owned Zeekr, a premium EV brand focused on high-performance luxury electric vehicles. This partnership aims to introduce next-generation charging solutions for the Zeekr community in Europe.
Minima, a leading embedded blockchain protocol company, has partnered with Zeekr Technology Europe, the European division of Geely-owned Zeekr, a premium EV brand specializing in high-performance luxury electric vehicles. This collaboration aims to tackle one of the biggest challenges in EV adoption: charging infrastructure accessibility.
By integrating Minima’s blockchain technology into Zeekr’s wall-mounted charging stations, the partnership seeks to bridge the charging gap that prevents widespread EV adoption. According to a recent Shell report, 49% of potential EV buyers hesitate due to limited charging station availability. Minima and Zeekr’s initiative will trial a system that enables Zeekr owners to securely access private wall-mounted chargers at residential and commercial locations.
The blockchain-powered solution allows wall-charger owners to monetize their stations by enabling Zeekr drivers to reserve charging slots at specific times, similar to the Airbnb model. This community-driven system significantly enhances the availability of reliable charging stations while utilizing underutilized chargers.
Minima’s blockchain serves as the underlying framework for Zeekr’s new smart contract-based infrastructure, which operates through a mobile app. Every reservation generates a secure access control token via the Minima network, acting as a unique digital key to unlock wall-mounted chargers. This ensures:
User identity verification
Secure access authorization
Allocated kWh tracking
Only authorized users can initiate charging, ensuring a tamper-proof and seamless experience.
“Our partnership with Zeekr demonstrates how blockchain and community-driven solutions can address real-world challenges, bringing greater flexibility, security, and convenience to the EV ecosystem.” — Hugo Feiler, Co-Founder & CEO of Minima
