A cloud system for interfacing with an electric vehicle, wherein the electric vehicle has a battery that is rechargeable. The electric vehicle further has an on-board computer and a wireless communication system that is interfaced with the on-board computer. The on-board computer is configured to monitor a charge level of the battery and display the level on a display screen of the electric vehicle. The electric vehicle has global positioning system (GPS) logic for identifying geo-location of the electric vehicle. The cloud system is configured to manage a user account for the electric vehicle and store data associated with the user account. The data includes information regarding charge parameters received from the user. The cloud system is thus configured to interface with on-board computer of the electric vehicle via the wireless communication system. The cloud system is configured access information regarding charging stations that are available and send to the electric vehicle one or more options of charge stations in response to processing received geo-location of the electric vehicle and received data regarding the charge level of the battery of the electric vehicle and the charge parameters of the user. The charge stations presented as options are located along a driving path that is reachable before the charge level of the electric vehicle reaches an empty state.

The cloud system of claim 5, wherein a server of the cloud system is configured to provide updates and resend to the electric vehicle one or more options of charge stations as the electric vehicle moves to have different or changing geo-locations, wherein the server enables adding and removing of sponsored rewards, such that subsequent filtering accounts for the adding and removing. 13. The cloud system of claim 5, wherein the sending of the one or more options of charge stations is processed automatically based on the charge level of the vehicle or in response to a request for information regarding charge stations made from the electric vehicle. 14. The cloud system of claim 5, further comprising, receiving a reservation request from the electric vehicle at a server of the cloud system, the reservation request being for a particular charge station of the one or more options of charge stations sent to the electric vehicle. 15. The cloud system of claim 14, further comprising, receiving payment information with the reservation request, the payment information acting to hold the particular charge station as available for the user, for a period of time. 16. The cloud system of claim 5, further comprising, sending to the electric vehicle information regarding waiting time or in-use activity of charge units one or more of the options of charge stations. 17. The cloud system of claim 5, wherein a server of the cloud system communicates with one or more of the charge stations to query for availability of the charge station and sponsored rewards available, the availability being used determine which of the charge stations along the driving path or other driving paths are to be sent as options of charge stations to the electric vehicle. 18. The cloud system of claim 5, wherein a server of the cloud system further communicates with a traffic service to identify traffic patterns to determine which of a plurality of charge stations to include as options of charge stations to the electric vehicle. 19. The cloud system of claim 5, wherein the options of charge stations further identify an estimated trip time with charge stop and an estimated cost. 20. The cloud system of claim 5, further comprising, providing, by a server of the cloud system, data to the electric vehicle to render a map on the display screen of the electric vehicle, the map identifying the options of charge stations and associated driving paths.
