A method for registering power outlets electric vehicle charging that may be used to charge electric vehicles, comprising:

• connecting a server to a network for receiving power outlet data and a search request;
• storing subscriber data relating to subscribers registered with a power outlet management system and the power outlet data relating to registered power outlets for electric vehicle charging that have been located by a subscriber;
• receiving the power outlet data for a power outlet for electric vehicle charging from the subscriber at the power outlet management system;
• registering the power outlet for electric vehicle charging with the power outlet management system if the power outlet for electric vehicle charging has not previously been registered;
• storing the power outlet data for the power outlets for electric vehicle charging in a database;
• receiving the search request for a useable power outlet for electric vehicle charging from the subscriber, the search request including location information defining an area of search for the useable power outlet for electric vehicle charging at the power outlet management system;
• locating at least one power outlet within the area of search that is registered with the power outlet management system;
• and
• providing a location of the at least one power outlet for electric vehicle charging located within the area of search to the subscriber from the power outlet management system.

An application for registering power outlets for electric vehicle charging that may be used to charge electric vehicles, comprising:

• a sequence of instructions stored on a non-transitory computer usable medium for implementing registration of power outlets for electric vehicle charging, the sequence of instructions which when executed by a processor causes said processor to:
• provide a user interface for generating power outlet data relating to a power outlet for electric vehicle charging;
• generate power outlet data for the power outlet for charging an electric vehicle responsive to first inputs from the user interface;
• initiate a registration for the power outlet for electric vehicle charging with a power outlet management system if the power outlet for electric vehicle charging has not previously been registered;
• transmit the power outlet data for the power outlet for electric vehicle charging to the power outlet management system;
• wherein the sequence of instructions further cause the processor to:
• generate a search request for a useable power outlet for electric vehicle charging responsive to second inputs from the user interface, the search request including location information defining an area of search for the useable power outlet for electric vehicle charging;
• transmit the search request to the power outlet management system;
• receive a response to the search request indicating at least one useable power outlet for electric vehicle charging;
• and
• display the response on the user interface.
