Abstract: A method is proposed to assist a user of an electric vehicle in reserving a rechargeable battery with a charging station. A reservation assistant unit that is related to the electric vehicle computes an estimated travelling distance from a current location corresponding to the electric vehicle to a destination, and computes a remaining distance based on residual electric energy of a rechargeable battery currently used by the electric vehicle. When the estimated travelling distance is greater than the remaining distance, the reservation assistant unit provides charging station information that indicates the closest charging station that has a rechargeable battery available.

Abstract: A system for battery binding includes a service end electronic device, at least one battery device and at least one carrier device.

Abstract: A method for notifying a user of a charging progress related to a rechargeable battery that corresponds to the user and that is being charged at a service end is proposed. The service end transmits a user identifier corresponding to the user and a battery identifier corresponding to the rechargeable battery to a cloud server. The service end periodically transmits the charging progress to an electronic device of the user via the cloud server when the rechargeable battery is being charged by a charger of the service end.
