Ideal Use Cases
The Mini is built to serve locations where light EV traffic is expected, or where power infrastructure supports only single-phase input. This includes:
Homes and apartment garages
Small shops, cafes, and food outlets
Medical clinics and tuition centers
Suburban and rural towns with low grid capacity
Two-wheeler and three-wheeler fleet base stations
Host locations with limited power supply or space
It is a plug and play entry point for both individuals and community operators who want to participate in DeCharge’s rewards program with a lower capital footprint.
Network Role and Incentive Profile
The Mini may be the smallest in power output but it plays a major role in the network. With enough deployment density, Minis offer:
Shorter wait times for drivers
Local coverage in underserved areas
High uptime reliability due to lower electrical load
High frequency micro-transactions ideal for rewards scaling
Reward Tier: Base Tier Despite its modest power output, Minis qualify for energy rewards, uptime bonuses, and geo-incentives under DeCharge’s reward engine.
For consistent performance, Minis deployed in Tier 2/3 cities or high utilization spots can outperform higher tier chargers in less active zones.
Deployment Models
The Mini can be installed via:
1. Self-Deployment Ideal for homeowners, shopkeepers, or fleet managers who wish to install it on-site. Comes with full onboarding support.
2. Delegated Deployment For those who don’t have a location, DeCharge installs the Mini at a high-demand location mapped via telemetry. You earn passively.
3. Partnered Channels Minis are frequently deployed in collaboration with other DePIN projects, local energy communities, or logistics startups. (Join our community to stay updated with such drops)
