Charging units communicate with an electric vehicle charger controller. A database stores charger data on each of the charging units. A first interface within the electric vehicle charger controller enables communication between the electric vehicle charger controller and the charging units. A second interface within the electric vehicle charger controller enables communications between the electric vehicle charger controller and mobile charging applications to find locations of at least one of the charging units and make reservations with at least one of the charging units. A charger locator controller on the electric vehicle charger controller performs real-time determination of a closest charging unit responsive to the charger data and a current position of an electric vehicle. A reservation controller on the electric vehicle charger controller enables a user of one of the mobile charging applications to select the closest charging unit and make a reservation with the closest charging unit.
