Maximum charging time per slot
Set how long a charging slot can run so cars do not stay parked long after they have finished charging.

Book the EV charger
no notes under the wiper
If you have fewer chargers than electric cars, it turns into a question of whose turn it is. Notes under the windshield wiper and a thread in the group chat rarely settle it. In Tiddel, members book charging time in a calendar, with a limit on how long each of them can occupy the spot.

Charging spots that get shared fairly
The point of booking a charging spot is not to fill a calendar — it is that the car parked there is actually charging. Set how long a charging slot can run and how many each member can hold, and the chargers reach more people instead of one car sitting there all weekend on a full battery.
Everyone sees the same calendar in real time, so you can plan the evening around a slot that is genuinely free instead of driving down and hoping. If the slot is no longer needed, cancel it and it goes to the next member.
With several chargers, add each as its own resource so members know which spot they booked. Same for a visitor spot that should follow different rules than the residents' spots.
Getting started
Three steps, a couple of minutes
Add the charging spots
One resource per charger, with names members recognize and slot lengths you decide.
Invite the members
Everyone with an electric car signs in and books for themselves. No waiting list to maintain, nobody to call.
Let the limits do the work
Maximum charging time and bookings per member apply automatically, so the spots get shared without a debate.
What you get
Built to be shared fairly
Fair between members

Block time for service
A charger being serviced, or the spot needed for something else? Block the time and nobody can book it.

FAQ: booking the EV charger
Quick answers
Can we cap how long someone charges?
Yes. Set how long a charging slot can run and how many slots each member can hold. The rules apply automatically when the booking is made.
We have three chargers. How do we set them up?
As three resources, one per charger, with their own names and rules. Members then know which spot they booked and two cars never end up on the same charger.
Does Tiddel control the charging or the meter?
No. Tiddel books the time, not the power: it is a calendar, not a charge point. You keep the equipment you have and use Tiddel to decide who parks there when.
Can visitors book a charging spot?
Add the visitor spot as its own resource with its own rules. The booking is made by an invited member, so you always know who is responsible for the visit.
What does it cost?
Tiddel is free to get started — no credit card required to create an account and start booking. See the pricing page for what each plan includes.
