As someone associated with this project, I can inform you that the reason the words "blockchain enabled" are used is because the Share and Charge platform enables peer-to-peer payments between car charger and private (not commercial) charging pole owner via the blockchain. As it happens however, as this is a pilot in a new country (US) with new compliance requirements, there are no actual cash payments taking place for now. And as for the electricity cost of Proof of Work, we're actually looking to move to a special purpose chain using Proof of Authority in the near future.
