Abstract: A charging/discharging support center provides normal power sales/purchase price information, including a power purchase price of power purchased to charge a battery of a vehicle and a power sales price of power discharged from the battery for sale, depending on whether it is busy hours during which a large-scale store is crowded or slow hours during which the large-scale store is not crowded, based on the past record. When the traffic volume in the surrounding area of the large-scale store is predicted to increase, the charging/discharging support center changes the power sales/purchase price information and provides, to a user of the vehicle, power sales/purchase price information in which the power purchase price of power purchased to charge the battery at the store is increased and set high, whereas the power sales price of power discharged from the battery for sale is reduced and set cheap.

Abstract: A vehicle undercover is provided with a fixed section fixed to a front body and a rotating section, one end of which is rotatably coupled to the fixed section and the other end of which vertically moves relative to the front body so as to be able to open and close a lower opening, in which the fixed section closes a part of the lower opening and the rotating section closes a remaining part of the lower opening, which is not closed by the fixed section. Such a configuration improves aerodynamic performance of a vehicle and improves workability of maintenance operation.
