| R3 Corda | Legacy | R3 Corda Blockchain Platform | Blockchain Platform | Blockchain | n/a | 2020 | 2020 |
In 2020, Honda implemented R3 Corda Blockchain Platform as part of its participation in the MOBI working group to operationalize the Electric Vehicle Grid Integration standard. The R3 Corda Blockchain Platform deployment focused on Blockchain Platform use cases covering vehicle-to-grid integration, tokenized carbon credits, and peer-to-peer energy exchange workflows described in the EVGI standard.
The implementation emphasized a permissioned distributed ledger architecture with an identity registry, standardized data schemas, and transaction settlement workflows to record charging, generation, and exchange events. R3 Corda Blockchain Platform components enforced the EVGI technical design specifications for data attributes and messaging formats, enabling trusted device identities and automated transaction recording across participants.
Operational scope targeted interactions among vehicle battery storage, charging infrastructure, and electricity producers, aligning with guidance that vehicles, chargers, and producers should have secure identities and a standard messaging format. The MOBI working group that produced the EVGI standard included Honda and General Motors as leads, with participation or support from organizations such as Pacific Gas & Electric, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the IOTA Foundation, Accenture, IBM, CPChain, and R3, and the standard is positioned to feed into the Open Mobility Network for application and settlement work.
Governance was driven by the MOBI working group’s technical specifications rather than a single vendor mandate, and the standard does not prescribe a single distributed ledger technology, although Honda implemented the R3 Corda Blockchain Platform to align its implementations to the specification. The primary implementation challenge reported by stakeholders is adoption and implementation at scale, which the group identified as necessary for the standard to enable broader, user-centric energy communities.
