Supercharging to reduce ownership cost of a Model S.

[AB4EJ]

It would be nice if cars in queue for a charge (with drivers still at the wheel) were notified when it was their turn and what charger they were assigned to charge at. The chargers could also be programmed to not allow other cars to charge if they jump the line. Such a system could be useful at some of the larger superchargers where there are still lines and it is hard to tell who's next in line.

Yes, there are probably a number of technical solutions that could help, such as the ability to make a reservation for a charge; then you could predict the wait times, and when wait times would be minimal (i.e., demand smoothing). Still, I can't help but think that this problem should diminish over time as long as sufficient infrastructure is timely added (both more SCs and more other types of charging stations, such as J1772 and CHAdeMO).
