In one embodiment, a method includes providing, from a charging entity, a user a flexible charger option for charging an electric vehicle at a first place at a first time. The flexible charger option is associated with a flexible charger compensation offer including a user benefit. The method includes generating an initial reservation for the user at the first place and the first time. The initial reservation is associated with a first cost for the charging entity. The method includes providing the user with the user benefit in response to the user selecting the flexible charger option. The method includes detecting a grid event that changes the first cost for the charging entity.
