They should add a feature where users can virtually “get in line” for the next available charger. In some places, it’s not practical or safe to physically line up a bunch (or even a few) cars waiting for the next available charger. It’d be nice if the app would just let you virtually queue for a charge, so you can go park somewhere close by. Maybe have it set so once a charger is available, you have a few minutes to start charging, or you lose your place in line. If somebody else physically pulls into the charging spot, it wouldn’t let them charge, and would ideally show a notification on their app that X number of people are in line in front of them.
True million dollar idea: your phone connects to your car, the charger connects to your car. You pay the car and the car pays the charger.
It’s basically what Tesla does and it works 1000000% better than getting five different apps and fiddling with their card swiper while you’re standing the cold. So dumb.
