Claim 10:
11. A method for managing a system of charging stations for at least one electric vehicle, comprising:
enabling communication between a central electric vehicle charger controller located remotely from the at least one electric vehicle and a plurality of charging units for charging the at least one electric vehicle;
enabling communications between the central electric vehicle charger controller and a plurality of mobile charging applications;
storing charger data on each of the plurality of charging units and current charging data on the at least one electric vehicle within a database associated with the central electric vehicle charger controller;
performing real-time determination of a closest charging unit of the plurality of charging units to the at least one electric vehicle responsive to the charger data and a current position of the at least one electric vehicle using a a charger locator controller on the central electric vehicle charger controller; estimating a battery exhaustion time for the at least one electric vehicle using the charger locator controller; and
providing a recommendation for charging units of the plurality of charging units for charging the at least one electric vehicle prior to battery exhaustion using the charger locator controller and the estimated battery exhaustion time; and
enabling a user of one of the plurality of mobile charging applications to select the closest charging unit and make a reservation with the closest charging unit at a selected time period using a reservation controller on the central electric vehicle charger controller.
