Waitlist Policies

Waitlist policies help manage demand, regulate congestion, and maximize station use, ensuring benefits for both drivers and station owners. Drivers can join queues and plan charging sessions. Station owners can achieve automated supervision and operation, expand station utilization and get data on station and driver activity.

The Waitlist Policies tab has a list of policies created and the number of stations utilizing the policy.

Click on a policy to see the details. The pop up on the left contains the following waitlist policy information:
