The control device includes one or more processors, and one or more memories coupled to the one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to execute a process including performing SMR-OFF control for controlling the system main relay to turn OFF when the system main relay is ON and the atmospheric pressure detected by the atmospheric pressure sensor is lower than a first atmospheric pressure threshold.

Abstract: A charging prediction system includes vehicles, a charging station, and a control device including one or more processors and one or more memories. The one or more processors are configured to execute a process. The process includes accumulating, in a storage device, record data that is actual data on a charged vehicle ratio for a first remaining traveling distance of each of the vehicles traveling along a specific traveling road. The process includes deriving, based on the record data, a predicted value of the charged vehicle ratio for each vehicle in a predetermined group including ones of the vehicles currently traveling along the specific traveling road. The process includes deriving a predicted waiting period that is a predicted value of a waiting period to a start of charging at the charging station based on the predicted values of the charged vehicle ratios.
