<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a charging system for electric vehicles that improves the efficiency of use in a charging device and suppress an initial cost and an operational cost. <P>SOLUTION: The charging system for electric vehicles includes a charging terminal device and a control unit. The charging terminal device includes: a power supplying means for supplying power to the battery of an electric vehicle; an information input means that inputs charge instruction information; an information displaying means; and a charge collecting means for collecting charges from users. The control unit includes a storage device and a computing device. It stores charge instruction information input from the information input means, computes charge reservation information including estimated charge start time, estimated charge end time, and charging fee, and sets a time for which the power supplying means is available. The control unit displays the charge reservation information on the information displaying means and, after a charging fee is collected by the charge collecting means, makes the power supplying means available. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
