Supercharging Queue

Submitted 6 years ago

The other day I was waiting to charge my Tesla on a busy supercharging station in Norway. There were many Teslas there and it was impossible to know who came first and who should charge next. I was witness to 3 episodes where people startet to argue about who came first and a fight almost startet. My idea is very simple and easy for Tesla to implement.

When a Tesla arrives at a supercharging station or close to lets say 50meters, a message should appear on the Tesla display that asks if the driver wants to book charging "Yes" or "No" if driver presses Yes then the cars Vin number is saved in a queue system on the supercharger station, and you will instantly know how many cars ar waiting in line and a estimated waiting time.
That way it will be easy for other drivers to see if there is a big queue on the station you want to charge and you can chose to drive to a different station. this will make less cars waiting around the stations and full control over the queue system instead of fighting about who was there first.

This idea is from Salar Nemati in Oslo Norway
