Methods and systems for providing charge options to drivers of electric vehicles are provided. One method includes receiving data concerning charge providing availability from charge locations and receiving a request from processing logic of an electric vehicle, the request identifying a desire to obtain charge. The method includes determining a current location of the electric vehicle and determining identification of charge locations in proximity to the electric vehicle. The method further includes determining any sponsored rewards offered by the charge locations and communicating to the electric vehicle a path to one of the charge locations, where the path is identified with a sponsored reward offered at the charge location if the path is selected and charge is obtained. The method can be processed by a server and paths are communicated to vehicles to alert drivers of the electric vehicles of rewards or discounts if charge is obtained from certain locations.

1. A method for providing charge options to drivers of electric vehicles, comprising, receiving, by a server, data from computers connected to charge locations concerning availability for providing charge by a charge station;receiving, by the server, sponsored rewards to be offered by the charge locations, the sponsored rewards changing over time based on data defined by entities providing the sponsored rewards for specific charge locations;receiving, by the server, a request from processing logic of an electric vehicle, the request identifying an inquiry to obtain charge;receiving, by the server, a current location of the electric vehicle;determining, by the server, charge locations in proximity to the current location of the electric vehicle;communicating automatically by pushing data, by the server, to the processing logic of the electric vehicle regarding at least one of the charge locations and a sponsored reward for the at least one of the charge locations for the current location of the electric vehicle, a path is definable to the at least one of the charge locations having said sponsored reward, the sponsored reward is available for a predefined period of time and available when the request from the processing logic of the electric vehicle was received by the server,the communicated data includes a command to display information via a graphical user interface regarding the path that identifies the at least one of the charge locations and information regarding the sponsored reward before selection is made for one of said charge locations, the path being one of a plurality of paths provided as options for illustrating tradeoffs between distance to said charge locations and types of said sponsored rewards for each of said paths, and each of said paths identifying a respective one of said charge locations and sponsored reward associated to said charge locations;receiving, by the server, selection of one of the charge locations from the electric vehicle; andreceiving a reservation request for the selected charge location;communicating, by the server, with the computer of the charge location to confirm the reservation request, the computer of the charge location controls positioning of a mechanical barrier for a parking spot at the charge location to enable the vehicle to obtain charge, the mechanical barrier acting to hold the parking spot for the vehicle. 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising, providing by the server, for the path, an estimated trip time with charge stop for obtaining charge at the at least one of the charge locations and an estimated cost with sponsored reward, wherein the estimated trip time is generated dynamically for a particular point in time from when the request was received. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the sponsored reward provides either a reduction in cost of the charge to be transferred to the electric vehicle, or a credit for goods or servers of a merchant proximate to the charge location, or credit points toward a larger reward that is earned over time. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the sponsored reward changes in value over time based on demand for charge at particular charge locations; wherein the processing logic of the electric vehicle communicates with a portable device associated with the vehicle and the portable device communicates with the server directly or via the processing logic of the electric vehicle. 5. The method of claim 1, further comprising, receiving, by the server from the processing logic of the electric vehicle, a desired end point of travel,communicating by the server to the processing logic of the vehicle additional charge locations and associated sponsored rewards along one or more paths to the desired end point of travel. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein two or more entities provide sponsored rewards at one of the charge locations to define a combined package of discounts. 7. The method of claim 1, further comprising, receiving pre-payment data for paying for charge associated with the reservation request.
