Sharing on your schedule · for hosts

Your car first. Then your neighbours.

How Martin's own charging and the hours he shares live on one schedule, and what happens when they'd clash.

Skip

Night. Martin's own car plugged in on his drive.

01 His own charge

His car charges first.

Martin's car charges overnight, in his tariff's cheapest hours, and his evenings stay his. Guests can't book those hours.

07:40. Martin at his front door with a mug and his phone, his charger on the wall and the drive empty.

02 The hours he shares 07:40

The rest of the day is open.

Sharing stays on. He doesn't switch it off and on around his own car: the hours it needs are kept for it, and the rest of the day is someone else's charge.

Evening. Martin on his sofa, setting his hours on his phone.

03 An hour kept clear

A buffer either side.

Splash keeps an hour clear before and after his own charge, so a late booking never runs into his car's time.

Maya's green car on Martin's drive, plugged into his charger.

04 Maya books 09:15

Guests book the open hours.

Maya takes 10:00 to 15:00. The rest of his day stays exactly as he set it.

Another day. Martin at his front door with his phone, Maya's car charging on his drive.

05 Another Saturday

If plans change, he decides.

Another Saturday, Martin wants a top-up while Maya's booked. Splash spots the clash and asks him first: keep her booking, or cancel it and tell her why.
