Ethereum EV Charging

Setup

• install Node (developed with v8.9.2)
• install Truffle package, the solidity compiler and deployer: npm install -g truffle
• install all dependencies: npm install
• start a local Ethereum blockchain server using one of the avaliable methods:
  • using Ganache app: https://github.com/trufflesuite/ganache
  • using docker Ganache image: docker run -d -p 8545:8545 trufflesuite/ganache-cli:latest -a 10 --debug
  • using Ganache-cli (ex. TestRPC): npm install -g ganache-cli and ganache-cli -a 10 --debug
• install chrome extension Metamask: https://metamask.io/

Deploy and start app

• take an account address from the blockchain accounts add add it to DataStore#ReceivingAccount to act as the business reciver account.
• compile contracts: truffle compile --all
• deploy to blockchain: truffle migrate --reset
• start Frontend: npm run dev
• open browser at http://localhost:8080/
• take a private key from the Ganache accounts and add it to Metamask to act as your own account.

Charging Station simulation

• Use the repo Simple Light Bulb to run the light bulb application as simulated charging station.
• The bulb will switch on during the charging period and switch off after charging period.

Test (Not updated)

• run tests with truffle test

Use

• fill in the form and click add. Considering that you already added your blockchain account to Metamask, it will popup a transaction window that will show a transfer of 10ETH. Approve the transfer and Ganache app will do the mining automatically.

Debug (Not updated)

• to interact with blockchain and contracts run truffle console
  • grab the contract: Ubi.deployed().then(function(instance) { d =instance })
  • run a transaction: WIP
