What Happens When EV Chargers Have No Reservation System

Shared EV charging stations without a booking system create friction, waste, and frustration. These problems grow worse as more EVs join your location.

Unpredictable Availability

Users drive to the charger only to find it occupied with no idea when it will be free. Wasted trips and wasted time.

Unfair Access

Early arrivals or persistent users monopolize chargers. Others never get a slot despite having equal need.

Overstaying and Blocking

Cars remain plugged in long after reaching full charge because there is no system to signal or enforce move-out times.

Invisible Utilization

Without reservation data, you cannot measure charger usage, identify peak hours, or plan capacity expansions based on evidence.

Core Features

A Complete Reservation System for EV Charging Stations

Every feature is designed to make shared EV charging fair, efficient, and self-service.

Time-Slot Reservations

Users browse a real-time availability calendar and book specific charging time slots. Reservations prevent double-bookings and guarantee each user gets their allotted time.

Automatic Scheduling

Booking status transitions happen automatically: reservations activate at start time, complete when the slot ends, and the station becomes available for the next user without manual intervention.

Usage Policy Enforcement

Define rules per station: maximum reservation duration, advance booking windows, and concurrent booking limits. The system enforces these policies automatically for every user.

Smart Notifications

Automated emails notify users about booking confirmations, upcoming session reminders (30 minutes before), and charging-complete alerts. Fewer no-shows and faster station turnover.

Multi-User Management

Invite users via email, manage roles, and let each person self-service their own reservations. Managers see all bookings; users see only their own.

Utilization Analytics

Track reservation counts, peak usage times, and station utilization rates. Use real data to optimize your charging infrastructure and justify new charger installations.

Automatic control with Smart Control

On its own, a booking is just a reservation people are asked to respect. Smart Control connects ChargeSlot to the charger and actually switches it: it starts at the booked time and shuts off when the slot ends. Only the person who booked can charge – and the next one gets their turn on time.

€19.90

per station/month

Replaces this point's booking price – no extra fee.

01
Booking starts – the charge point switches on automatically
02
Only the person who booked can charge
03
Booking ends – the charge point switches off

Plus live wallbox status and all ChargeSlot Booking features.

Compatibility check, hardware and setup are available separately when needed.
