1. A method of controlling reservations at an electric vehicle charging station, the method comprising:
transmitting, from the electric vehicle charging station, a message for the electric vehicle to the cloud server via the mobile device, wherein a first user of the mobile device is associated with the electric vehicle to be charged, wherein the message relayed through the mobile device includes identification information;
in response to a charging control signal being authorized using identification information received from the mobile device, receiving the charging control signal from the cloud server at the electric vehicle charging station via the mobile device that enables a charge transfer from the electric vehicle charging station to the electric vehicle of the first user for a first charging session, the charging session having a scheduled end time;
reserving a second charging session for an electric vehicle of a second user in the charging space, the second charging session being scheduled to have a scheduled start time at or after the scheduled end time of the first charging session; and
facilitating communication between the first user and the second user to modify the scheduled end time of the first charging session for the first user an amount of time and correspondingly modify the scheduled start time of the second charging session of the second user an amount of time.
