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.
