Abstract: A power transfer managing apparatus includes: a demand information acquiring unit that acquires information indicating power demand in a power network; a selecting unit that selects, as a vehicle to be caused to perform power transfer with the power network according to the power demand, a vehicle provided with a driving power source having an accumulated energy amount larger than a predetermined accumulation amount, and having an accumulatable energy amount larger than a predetermined accumulatable amount; and a notification control unit that makes a user of the vehicle that is selected by the selecting unit notified.

Abstract: A control apparatus includes: an acquiring unit that acquires information indicating: power demand in a first power network that supplies power in a first region including a future movement destination of a first vehicle; and power demand in a second power network that supplies power in a second region including a future movement destination of a second vehicle; and a control unit that makes energy accumulated in or released from a driving power source provided to the first vehicle preferentially over a driving power source provided to the second vehicle, based on the power demand in the first power network, and the power demand in the second power network.

Abstract: A control apparatus includes: a vehicle information acquiring unit that acquires information indicating a future movement destination of a vehicle provided with a driving power source; and a control unit that causes power transfer to be performed between the vehicle and a second vehicle provided with a driving power source based on a power demand in a power network that supplies power in a region of the future movement destination of the vehicle.

Abstract: A power transfer managing apparatus includes: a traffic jam information acquiring unit that acquires traffic jam information including a position where a traffic jam occurs; and a notification control unit that makes a user of a vehicle that is provided with a driving power source notified of information indicating a second route via a geographical point where power transfer can be performed between the vehicle and a power network if the traffic jam occurs on a route allocated to the vehicle.

Abstract: A control apparatus includes: a determining unit that determines whether or not a vehicle provided with a driving power source is at a position where the vehicle can perform power transfer with a power network; and a notification control unit that makes a user of the vehicle notified, if the driven vehicle is at the position where the vehicle can perform power transfer with the power network. If the vehicle is positioned near a power transfer facility for performing power transfer between the vehicle and the power network, the determining unit determines that the vehicle is at the position where the vehicle can perform power transfer with the power network.

Abstract: A carriable power transfer unit that can be used for bidirectional power transmission between a power network and each of the plurality of vehicles provided with driving power sources is provided. The power transfer unit includes: a plurality of connecting portions that are attachable to and detachable from each of the plurality of vehicles, and are used for power transmission between the power transfer unit and each of the plurality of vehicles; and a control unit that controls bidirectional power transmission between the power network and each of the plurality of vehicles.

Abstract: An electricity supply control apparatus includes a storing section that stores electrical energy, a supply section that supplies the electrical energy to a drive source of a vehicle or to a load external to the vehicle, a control section that controls electricity supply from the supply section to the load, and an acquisition section that acquires information regarding a current position of the vehicle, and information regarding at least one facility located in surroundings of the current position and capable of supplying the electrical energy. The control section sets one facility from out of the at least one facility as a target destination based on a position of the facility and on a quantity of the electrical energy the facility is capable of supplying, included in the information regarding the at least one facility acquired by the acquisition section.

Abstract: There is provided a V2G system including a parent aggregator which manages buying and selling of power from a plurality of power supply sources to a power grid, and a child aggregator which manages a plurality of transport machines and guarantees the parent aggregator charging and discharging between at least one of batteries mounted on the transport machines and the power grid. The child aggregator acquires first information regarding the charging and discharging and second information regarding the transport machines from each of the transport machines, aggregates the first information and the second information, and transmits at least the first information to the parent aggregator.

Abstract: A selector is to choose a target facility from the at least one facility based on a supplier position and a quantity of the energy suppliable. A distance calculator is to calculate a vehicle-facility distance from a current position to a facility position of a target energy supplier. A drivable range calculator is to calculate a drivable range of a vehicle based on a quantity of energy stored in an energy storage. A determining device is to determine whether or not to permit a power supplier to supply an electrical energy to an external device based on the vehicle-facility distance and the drivable range to control electricity supply from the power supplier to the external device.

Abstract: An electric vehicle includes a battery, a charging lid, a vehicle-side charging connector, a contactor, a contactor welding detector, a DC inlet cover, a DC lock mechanism, and a lock controller. The battery is to be charged with power supplied from an external power supply. The vehicle-side charging connector is disposed inside a position of the charging lid in the electric vehicle and includes an AC inlet for AC charging and a DC inlet for DC charging. The contactor is provided on a power line connecting the DC inlet to the battery. The contactor welding detector is configured to detect welding of the contactor. The DC inlet cover covers the DC inlet without covering the AC inlet in a state where the DC inlet cover is in a closed state. The DC lock mechanism locks the DC inlet cover in the closed state.
