Booking a charger helps users plan, but someone must manage the slot, handle conflicts, and absorb the cost of empty holds. That someone deserves the reward. The party operating reservations should be the one benefiting from any fee or loyalty, while users gain certainty. Aligned incentives keep the system honest.
Handle no shows
Empty reserved slots waste capacity. A fair rule, agreed in writing, balances user flexibility with the cost of a held yet unused pile. Publish how slots are allocated so no one suspects favoritism. Transparency keeps a convenience feature from becoming a complaint source.
