CHARGING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

According to one embodiment, based on vehicle information including a battery remaining level, a current location, and a destination for each of a plurality of electric vehicles and facility information including locations of charging facilities for the electric vehicles on a road, a charging management system calculates a time of arrival at each of the charging facilities related to a path to the destination and an estimated value for the battery remaining level in a case of arrival at the charging facility. Based on the battery remaining level, the charging management system calculates candidates for a charging facility utilization of which is to be recommended which are included in the charging facilities related to the path to the destination of each of the electric vehicles and an estimated duration from a time when an electric vehicle having arrived at each of the charging facilities starts charging until the charging is complete. Based on the calculation result, the charging management system determines the charging facility the utilization of which is to be recommended to be one of the charging facilities related to the path to the destination which has a shortest maximum wait time from a time when the plurality of electric vehicles arrive at the charging facility until the charging is complete, and reports information indicative of the determined charging facility to the electric vehicle not having arrived at the charging facility.
