    • Wait time detected (>5 minutes)
    • Local deals available within walking distance

3. Monetization Streams

  1. Partner Business Program ($500-2000/month per partner)

Key Features to Implement

1. Smart Charging Assistant

// When user starts charging
const session = await startChargingSession({
  stationId: 'tesla-van-aken',
  vehicleType: 'Ford Mustang Mach-E',
  batteryLevel: 20,
  targetLevel: 80
});

// AI engages user
await chargePal.engage({
  estimatedTime: session.estimatedMinutes,
  nearbyDeals: await getLocalDeals(session.location),
  userPreferences: user.preferences
});

2. Deal Redemption Flow

  3. User selects deal
  4. QR code generated
  5. Partner scans code
  6. Commission tracked
