• receiving via a communication interface from at least a subset of electric vehicles, data associated with an availability of the at least the subset of electric vehicles comprising a fleet of electric vehicles made available for use on demand;
• and
• using a processor to:
• determine based at least in part on the data associated with the availability of the at least the subset of electric vehicles a set of electric vehicles required to be serviced;
• provide via the communication interface to each of a plurality of users a display indicating for each electric vehicle included in the set of electric vehicles required to be serviced a corresponding location of the electric vehicle and a price offered to retrieve, service, and redeploy the electric vehicle;
• receive from a device associated with one of the plurality of users a selection to retrieve at least one of the electric vehicles included in the set of electric vehicles required to be serviced from a corresponding location associated with each of the at least one of the electric vehicles;
• and
• update, based on the selection, the display indicating for each electric vehicle included in the set of electric vehicles required to be serviced, wherein the updated display includes the electric vehicles included in the set of electric vehicles required to be serviced other than the selected at least one of the electric vehicles.
