Abstract: A display method includes displaying an advertisement (predetermined video) on a navigation system (display device) of an electrically powered vehicle in response to detection of performance, by a user, of an operation for causing the electrically powered vehicle to be autonomously parked in a battery station (battery replacement station).

Abstract: A battery exchange guiding method includes: searching for a battery station that an electrically powered vehicle is able to reach (first searching); and searching for the battery station in which a battery with a larger SOC than a predetermined value (an SOC required to reach a destination from the battery station+a user's desired value in regard to a remaining amount of the SOC at a timing of arrival at the destination) is stored (second searching). The guiding method includes notifying the user of the electrically powered vehicle of information on the battery station extracted through the above two searches.

Abstract: A method of controlling battery replacement includes obtaining information on a battery (first battery) and giving a notification that encourages battery replacement to a user of an electrically powered vehicle when a battery (second battery) lower in SOC than the battery is provided at a battery station (battery replacement station). The method of controlling battery replacement includes controlling the battery station such that the battery and the battery lower in SOC than the battery are replaced with each other.

Abstract: A method of controlling battery replacement includes receiving from a user of an electrically powered vehicle, a request for registration as a home station, of a specific battery replacement station among a plurality of battery stations (battery replacement stations) and determining a first incentive to be granted to the user when the user uses the home station for battery replacement of the electrically powered vehicle. The determining the first incentive includes setting the first incentive to be greater than a second incentive to be granted to the user when the user uses a battery station other than the home station for battery replacement of the electrically powered vehicle.

Abstract: A method for informing of a battery station (battery replacement facility) includes acquiring information (condition information) about a condition emphasized by a user of an electric vehicle, out of a plurality of conditions for a plurality of battery stations for replacement of a battery (secondary battery) mounted on the electric vehicle. The method for informing of the battery station includes determining at least one battery station, which is recommended to the user out of the plurality of battery stations, by evaluating each of the plurality of battery stations based on the information. The method for informing of the battery station includes notifying the user of information about the at least one battery station.

Abstract: In a cogeneration apparatus, a heat exchanger includes an exhaust gas passageway for passage therethrough of exhaust gas, a heat medium passageway for passage therethrough of a heat medium that gives heat energy to a water heater etc., and a water passageway for taking heat from the exhaust gas and giving the heat to the heat medium. Cooling water for a water-cooled engine is given to the water passageway. The cogeneration apparatus requires reduced numbers of the heat exchanger and pipes, and hence a reduced number of necessary component parts, so that the cogeneration apparatus can be reduced in cost.

Abstract: A fuel-cell system with a fuel battery comprising more than one fuel cell having a purge gas passage connecting the fuel battery to a purge gas cylinder, a discharge passage connecting the fuel battery to the exterior, solenoid valves each installed in the passages, and an electronic control unit that opens the solenoid valves to open the passages to supply the purge gas to the fuel battery such that residue in the fuel battery is purged to the exterior by the purge gas. The control unit opens the valves at a time interval determined from an output of a current sensor to conduct purge at optimum timing for the battery operating state so as to prevent accumulation of residue in the fuel battery, while preventing repetition of unnecessary purges.
