About De Charge
DeCharge is a decentralized EV charging network that deploys small modular chargers (e.g., 3.3kW Mini, 7.4kW Beast, 30-120kW Titan), allowing individuals or businesses to own, host, or invest in charging equipment and earn based on actual energy dispensed. Its core narrative is "DePINFi": tokenizing charger assets so investors can buy fractional shares and share revenue, while emphasizing distributed deployment, community ownership, and fast installation within days. Traditional charging infrastructure is centralized, slow to build, costly, under-serves remote areas, and revenue is monopolized by operators with poor maintenance; DeCharge aims to address these issues with low-cost hardware and decentralized ownership. Regarding specific developments in the past six months (March to September 2026), such as new sites or partnerships, no reliable information is available from public sources; the known product line includes the above models, with installation taking about 5-10 days and rewards based on actual usage and uptime.
In the past six months, DeCharge advanced its Season-based roadmap: Season 3 launched in Q1 2026, targeting 5,000+ devices, with focus on Titan Mini/Titan pilots, solar retrofits, a global demand map, and micro-funding/franchise models . In May–June, ChainGPT Pad hosted a $150K CHARGE Buzzdrop with registration until June 15, and the TGE was set for June . The Scout App entered alpha, aggregating Google Maps, PlugShare, and OCPP data with route planning, and US market expansion is planned . The network has deployed nearly 300 chargers, roughly two per day .
Future priorities: Season 3 focuses on high-throughput deployments, on-chain telemetry scoring, community governance pilots, and DePINFi, while long-term directions include solar/storage integration, energy arbitrage, autonomous fleets, and AI-based routing .
