The method of claim 14, wherein the user account is managed by the server that is part of the cloud service, and the electronics of the vehicle is configured to enable sending a reservation request to at least one of the charge units, the server implements an application programming interface (API) to communicate with charge units or a server that has communication with charge units. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein the server manages a database that includes said preferences for the user account and preferences for other user accounts. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein said preferences include preferences for types of promotions used for determining said options of one or more charge units. 18. The method of claim 14, wherein a list of one or more charge units is additionally displayed on a screen associated with the vehicle, in addition to being output via said speaker. 19. The method of claim 14, wherein the voice input is associated with voice output, and said voice output is said audio output by said speaker of the vehicle. 20. The method of claim 14, wherein at least one of the preferences is learned based on historical data regarding one or more of past requests to identify charge units, or based on charge obtained at specific charge units, or based on discounts used at the charge units, or a combination of two or more thereof.
