【Abstract】The emerging proportion of renewable energy resources penetration and the rapid popularity of Electric Vehicles (EVs) have promoted the development of the Internet of Electric Vehicles (IoEV), which enables seamless EV' information collection and energy delivery by leveraging wireless power transfer. However, vulnerabilities in internet infrastructure and the self-interested behavior of EVs pose significant security and privacy risks during energy delivery in IoEV. In addition, EVs often lack the incentive to cooperate for regional energy balance. To tackle these questions, this paper proposes a blockchain-based privacy-preserving incentive mechanism for energy delivery in IoEV. Based on cryptographic technology, this paper introduces a group signature scheme with self-controlled and sequential linkability, which safeguards the privacy of EV users and ensures transaction records maintain exact sequence during energy delivery. Furthermore, an incentive mechanism based on co-utile reputation management is presented to encourage EV users to participate honestly and cooperatively in energy delivery. Moreover, a comprehensive security analysis of the proposed group signature scheme and incentive mechanism is given. Finally, extensive experimental results demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed approach compared to existing schemes.
