# Chargy Desktop App
# ChargyTS Desktop App

Chargy is a transparency software for secure and transparent e-mobility charging processes, as defined by the German "Eichrecht". The software allows you to verify the cryptographic signatures of energy measurements within charge detail records and comes with a couple of useful extentions to simplify the entire process for endusers and operators.
Chargy is a transparency software for the validation of secure and transparent e-mobility charging processes, as defined by the *German Calibration Law ("Eichrecht")* in combination with the [Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR)](https://transport.ec.europa.eu/transport-themes/clean-transport/alternative-fuels-sustainable-mobility-europe/alternative-fuels-infrastructure_en) of the European Commission and the [European Digital Quality Infrastructure](https://www.qi-digital.de/en/). The software allows you to verify the cryptographic signatures of energy measurements within charge detail records and comes with a couple of useful extentions to simplify the entire process for endusers and operators.

## Benefits of Chargy

1. Chargy comes with __*meta data*__. True charging transparency is more than just signed smart meter values. Chargy allows you to group multiple signed smart meter values to entire charging sessions and to add additional meta data like EVSE information, geo coordinates, tariffs, ... within your backend in order to improve the user experience for the ev drivers.
