Abstract: A power management system manages an exchange of electric power between power storage devices of a plurality of electric vehicles which respectively transport a cargo at least in a facility, and a charging and discharging device connected to an electric power system of the facility. The power management system includes a vehicle management device. The vehicle management device is configured to select the electric vehicle with surplus capacity for a discharge from the power storage device based on SOC of the power storage device of each of the electric vehicles and the weight of the cargo of each of the electric vehicles when an electric power supply from at least one of the electric vehicles to the electric power system is requested. Further, the vehicle management device is configured to instruct the selected electric vehicle to discharge from the power storage device to the electric power system.

Abstract: A selectable one-way clutch includes a pocket plate, a notch plate, and a selector plate, and the selector plate is configured to rotate so as to switch the clutch between an engaged state and a non-engaged state. A lubricant passage through which a lubricant is supplied to the selectable one-way clutch has a lubricant inlet and a lubricant outlet, and the lubricant outlet is located on the lower side of the lubricant inlet in a direction of gravitational force, and connected to an inside of the selectable one-way clutch. The lubricant passage includes an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to the direction of gravitational force, between the lubricant inlet and the lubricant outlet, and the inclined surface has an opening.

Abstract: A VGI system is a system in which electric power is exchanged between a power grid of an electric power utility company and a BEV, and includes a plurality of BEVs, EVSE, and a management server that manages exchange of electric power. The EVSE includes specific EVSE available to a specific vehicle among BEVs, the specific vehicle being permanently permitted to use the EVSE. The management server performs processing for temporarily permitting use of the specific EVSE by a non-specific vehicle different from the specific vehicle on condition that the non-specific vehicle uses the specific EVSE to exchange electric power with the electric power utility company and performs processing for granting an incentive to a user of the non-specific vehicle or a manager of the specific EVSE on condition that the non-specific vehicle has exchanged electric power with the electric power utility company.

Abstract: A vehicle equipped with a driving unit for traveling, a power storage device capable of supplying power to the drive unit, and a solar cell system capable of supplying power generated by a solar cell to the power storage device. A vehicle management device that determines the cause, based on whether or not a decrease in the amount of power generation has occurred while the vehicle is running and whether or not a decrease in the amount of power generation has occurred while the vehicle is parked, determines whether the decrease in the amount of power generation is caused by the state abnormality of the solar cell or the external environment.
