Zusammenfassung:A method and apparatus for generating and managing community sharing and queuing for electric vehicle charging ports is described. Upon a charging port becoming available or about to become available, a notification is sent to an EV operator that is in the queue that indicates that they can use the charging port. The notification may allow the EV operator to accept and acknowledge the availability of the charging port that provides their intention to use the charging port and may allow the EV operator to pass on using the charging port. If the EV operator accepts, the charging port will be placed on hold for at least a predefined amount of time such that only that electric vehicle operator may use that charging port. If the EV operator passes, a notification is sent to another EV operator in the queue (if any) indicating that they can use the charging port.
