Crypto users no longer have to set up a complicated mining farm in their cars to earn tokens while on the road — in a bit of linguistic irony, Fiat has provided a solution.
According to an announcement from the Italian car manufacturer on Tuesday, Fiat’s parent company Stellantis has partnered with Kiri Technologies to reward drivers in cryptocurrency. People who use the latest model of Fiat’s 500 electric vehicle will now receive 1 KiriCoin — worth two euro cents, or roughly $0.024 at the time of publication — for each kilometer driven. Fiat users who drive more efficiently based on the car’s energy usage will also receive additional rewards.
