Abstract: When an operation for reserving a rental car is performed on a communication terminal, reservation information is transmitted from the communication terminal to the management server. The management server extracts a reservation period included in the reservation information, issues an incentive based on the reservation period, and notifies the incentive. When the user applies an incentive to the communication device to confirm the reservation, the operation information is sent to the management server, and the management server confirms the reservation. When the reservation confirmation is notified, the communication terminal sets the reservation period as VPP participation period of the electrified vehicles, and transmits the participation information including the information of VPP participation period to HEMS controllers. HEMS controllers register the electrified vehicles as power resources in the period specified by VPP participation period.

Abstract: A management apparatus is configured to adjust an upper limit amount of electric power for charging. The management apparatus may be provided in an electric vehicle or a charging apparatus. The management apparatus may include a dial for adjusting the upper limit amount of electric power, and a user may be able to adjust the upper limit amount of electric power by operating the dial. A user who drives 300 km per week for commute may set the amount of electric power corresponding to 300 km (plus extra travel distance) for the upper limit amount of electric power. The user may connect a battery to the charging apparatus on weekends. When the battery has a capacity to store the amount of electric power corresponding to, for example, 500 km, the management apparatus may stop charging when the battery is charged with the set upper limit amount of electric power.

Abstract: A computer of an auction system presents vehicle body quality information indicating a quality of a vehicle body excluding a battery of an electric vehicle and battery quality information, and receives an electric vehicle bid price, a vehicle body bid price, and a battery bid price. When a total of the vehicle body bid price and the battery bid price exceeds the electric vehicle bid price, the computer determines a battery purchase applicant who presents the battery bid price as a winning bidder of the battery, and a vehicle body purchase applicant who presents the vehicle body bid price as a winning bidder of the vehicle body. When the total is lower than the electric vehicle bid price, the computer determines an electric vehicle purchase applicant who presents the electric vehicle bid price as a winning bidder of the electric vehicle.
