Booking cancellation

If enabled, the booking automatically cancels after a set number of minutes if the driver does not begin charging.

Mix mode charging

If enabled: the location supports both on-demand and booking during the Bookable time frame.
If disabled: the location is booking-only during the Bookable time frame.

ON-DEMAND TO BOOKING CHARGING

If enabled: on-demand charging can continue into a booking slot if the user arrives and starts charging before the booked start time.
If disabled: charging stops at the booked start time; the user must manually start the booking session.

BOOKING TO ON-DEMAND CHARGING
