Lathika Chandra Mouli - Singaporean, Asia and the Pacific

2019 Winner | Electrical engineer | Singaporean

Electric vehicles charging can lead to increased fossil fuel-based energy generation by spiking power demand. In Thailand, for example, the majority of electricity is generated from hydropower, oil, and gas sources. EV in Thailand can cut a driver’s carbon footprint by 70 percent compared to a gasoline vehicle, and a further 25 percent through the use of solar-powered EV charging stations. Evergo is a blockchain-based system which increases proliferation of solar-powered EV charging stations. It provides an economic incentive for homeowners to invest in solar solutions as they can get an extra source of income by sharing their excess generation. The system tracks energy trading and diversifies the energy mix for charging solutions, using blockchain to ensure transparent and secure energy accounting and connecting excess solar generation from roofs of 'prosumers' to EV chargers.

I am an electrical engineer, passionate about the intersection of technology, urbanization, and sustainability. I am also among winners of the UN Environment Asia Pacific Low Carbon Lifestyles Challenge.
