  • Publication number: 20230056270
    Abstract: A mobile body includes: a main body provided with a moving function; a storage battery that is disposed in the main body and that stores electric power for driving the main body; a supply unit that supplies electric power to the storage battery; a requesting unit that requests an electric power provider who is able to supply electric power to the storage battery by the supply unit for cooperation in electric power supply; and a granting unit that grants an incentive to the electric power provider that has supplied the electric power to the storage battery by the supply unit. Therefore, when the electric power is insufficient during traveling, the electric power can be supplied to the storage battery by requesting cooperation in electric power supply, and the electric power provider can receive an incentive by supplying the electric power.
