SmartQueue

No more waiting games. No more wasting time. Just efficient EV charging.

What is SmartQueue?

Monta SmartQueue is a new feature that addresses the frustration of arriving at charging sites only to find all charge points occupied. It is a virtual queueing system where EV drivers can join a virtual queue for one or more charge points within a charging site and receive notifications when a charger becomes available, eliminating the uncertainty of waiting on-site.

For charge point operators, Monta SmartQueue offers the option to enable virtual queueing for private charge point sites. EV drivers can easily join the queue through the Monta app, ensuring a seamless and efficient charging experience for everyone involved.

The problem

Accessing charging stations can be challenging for EV drivers if you have to wait for chargers to become available. This can feel like a waste of time even when you have access to a workplace or residential chargers. The issue of charging rage can also dampen your day and be inconvenient.

Site owners, such as workplaces or housing associations, face similar challenges. Constant complaints about occupied chargers can result in administrative work and unhappy employees or residents. Cars blocking chargers after charging can frustrate those trying to maximize charger utilization.

What is Monta’s Solution?

Our innovative solution SmartQueue streamlines the charging experience for EV drivers. With this virtual queueing system, drivers can say goodbye to wasted time waiting for charging points.

SmartQueue allows EV drivers to view and virtually queue for charge points from anywhere, eliminating the need to wait on-site. Plus, with the option to queue up at multiple charge points within a site, drivers always have a backup plan in case of busy stations.

Who is SmartQueue for?

SmartQueue is for anyone who owns an electric vehicle and is tired of the frustration of finding an available charging spot. It's especially beneficial for workplaces and residential units that want to manage efficiency and charging demand as EV adoption among residents and employees increases.

Why?
Employees can join a virtual queue at the start of the day and receive a notification when it's their turn to charge. Plus, they can skip their turn if they're unavailable to start a charge. This helps cut down on charge point admin and ensures charge points are used effectively.
