The structure and operation of a logistical system for charging electrical vehicles (EVs) are described. The logistical system may include synergistically interacting hardware and software components on a computer of a charging service, a plurality of EVs, and a plurality of charging stations. Charge information describing conditions of a battery of an EV, and EV location information, may be sent to the charging service computer. An application operating on the EV and/or driver's mobile device may receive data from the charging service, which may include a location of a charging station capable of charging the EV and an estimated charging time and/or cost for the battery charging. Charging stations, in communication with the charging service, provide information that assists the charging service to select an appropriate charging station. Mobile charging-vehicles may be directed to particularly needed locations by the charging service, and may charge electrically assisted bicycles and other vehicles.
