A method for managing charge status of an electric vehicle (EV) at a charge unit (CU), charge units, and systems that use cloud processing, are provided. One method includes detecting connection of a charging connector of the charge unit to a vehicle charge port of the EV. The method also includes receiving charge status of the EV while the charging connector is connected to the CU and activating a light at the CU. The light is set to a color that is indicative of the charge status of the EV. The method then includes changing the color of the light as the charge status of the EV changes. The method executed by a processor at a charge unit or on cloud processing logic over the Internet, or combinations thereof.
