Abstract: A server includes a communication unit (first acquisition unit) that acquires information about a status of use of an EVSE by a user (first user) who uses the EVSE (power control device) in a normal state. Further, the server includes a processor (controller) that performs, based on the information about the status of use, control for lending the EVSE to a user (second user) different from the foregoing user in a time period in which the foregoing user does not use the EVSE.

Abstract: A server manages power adjustment resources electrically connected to a power network. The power adjustment resources include power equipment installed in a facility and configured to supply power from a vehicle to the power network and charge power from the power network to the vehicle. When reservation information for using the facility is received from a user, the server predicts a power supply-demand balance in the power network on a reserved date and time of use of the facility. When a DR for adjusting the power supply-demand balance is predicted to be performed on the reserved date and time of use, the server prepares a use plan for the facility so as to include the vehicle participating in the DR using the power equipment. The server gives an incentive to the user when the user accepts the use plan.

Abstract: A charging inlet, to which a charging connector provided external to a vehicle is connected, includes a housing and a terminal unit provided in the housing. The terminal unit includes a first DC pin, a second DC pin, a first communication pin, a second communication pin, and a ground pin. The housing includes a blocking member. When an AC/DC charging connector complying with CCS and supporting AC charging and DC charging is to be connected to the charging inlet, blocking members interfere with at least one of a first AC terminal, a second AC terminal, a third AC terminal, and a neutral point terminal that are provided in the AC/DC charging connector, to block connection between the AC/DC charging connector and the charging inlet.

Abstract: A vehicle configured such that an on-board battery is chargeable by receiving electric power from a power supply outside the vehicle includes an inlet, a voltage sensor that detects an input voltage that is a voltage input from the power supply to the inlet, and a control device configured to execute a detection process when connected to the inlet. The detection process includes a first process that suspends charging when a difference between the input voltage before a start of the charging and the input voltage after the start of the charging is equal to or larger than a threshold value, and a second process that stops the charging when a difference between the input voltage during suspension of the charging in the first process and the input voltage after resumption of the charging is equal to or larger than the threshold value.

Abstract: A vehicle includes an inlet connected to a connector, a power accumulation device that accumulates power, two or more charging circuits that convert power from the inlet into direct current power having a predetermined voltage adapted for the power accumulation device, a switching system that switches between states where each of the charging circuits and the inlet are electrically connected and disconnected, a control device that controls the switching system, and a detection circuit that detects a maximum current value of charging power supplied from the outside. The control device controls the switching system such that the minimum number of charging circuits that can convert power having the maximum current value detected by the detection circuit is in a state of being electrically connected to the inlet.

Abstract: A charging controller carries out charging control of a power storage mounted on a vehicle. The vehicle includes a DC charging inlet. The charging controller carries out first charging control when a charging cable which is not a prescribed charging cable is connected to the DC charging inlet and carries out second charging control when the prescribed charging cable is connected to the DC charging inlet. For example, a time period for ground fault detection carried out during charging of the power storage is set differently between first charging control and second charging control. Alternatively, a response delay margin of a charging command is set differently between first charging control and second charging control.

Abstract: An electrical source control apparatus controls an electrical source system having an electrical power converter. The electrical power converter changes an operation mode between a first mode in which the electrical power conversion is performed with electricity storage apparatuses being electrically connected in series and a second mode in which the electrical power conversion is performed with the electricity storage apparatuses being electrically connected in parallel. The electrical source control apparatus has: a first changing device which changes an electrical power limiting value representing an allowable electrical power which can be inputted to or outputted from the electrical source system from the second limiting value to the first limiting value; and a second changing device which changes the operation mode from the second mode to the first mode after the electrical power limiting value is changed to the first limiting value.
