  • Publication number: 20230256864
    Abstract: A charging control system includes: a battery rechargeable with electric power from an external power supply; a battery cooler that cools the battery; and a controller that controls charging of the battery and cooling of the battery. The controller includes processing circuitry configured to: acquire, in a case where charging is included in a scheduled travel plan, noise information related to a charging system that performs the charging and environment information of a charging place where the charging is performed; determine a quietness requirement of the charging place based on the noise information and the environment information; determine a target temperature of the battery at the time of arrival at the charging place or at the time of start of the charging based on the quietness requirement; and control the battery cooler based on the target temperature of the battery.
