FAQs

Frequently asked questions about reserving EV chargers

Our book-n-use parking management and our smart parking barriers are compatible with every charger and every charging hub.

The automatically folding smart parking barriers have their own independent power supply, so no power cables need to be laid. The battery is rechargeable and replaceable and lasts up to 2 years, thanks to a solar panel and optimised power consumption (at around four parking events per day).

In the Reserved spaces menu, select the Reserve a space button and press NEXT. Once you have chosen the day, time and location, all the details are shown again in a clear summary. You may need to accept location-specific terms of use. Click Complete reservation and you are done. You will receive a confirmation email, and the reservation is shown in the portal.
