At many EV sites today, unused or unreserved cars are kept off chargers with cones, chains, or padlocks on the hardware. It may “work.” It also inconveniences real customers. It’s a blunt tool from an earlier era.
Permanent obstacles so unreserved cars can’t sit on a charger.
Physical locks so non-EV or parking-only users can’t “steal” a port.
Legitimate drivers pay the friction tax too.
Still stuck in the lock-and-barrier eraFrom blunt force to smart operationsA-Charge starts from a different premise
A-Charge starts from a different premise
Put chargers across the lot—not a tiny EV corner.
Time-based fees for any vehicle. Charging or parking-only: one fair intake.
Anonymous queue & reservation so only ticket holders can start. No padlocks. No cones.
Drivers need no app—just the bay QR. Operators see the site clearly.
From blunt force to smart operations
Don’t wall off occupancy with hardware. Handle rights and turns digitally. That’s kinder to guests and operators—and A-Charge brings that progress on-site.
