Abstract

A charge control system includes a charging apparatus including a first processor configured to cause the charging apparatus to store electric power to be supplied to a preset region, and a charge control apparatus including a second processor configured to calculate a charge amount of the charging apparatus and perform charging control for the charging apparatus based on the calculated charge amount, wherein when calculating the charge amount, the second processor calculates a charge amount to be larger in a case where the engine driving prohibited zone is set in the region than a charge amount in a case where the engine driving prohibited zone is not set in the region.

Claims (22)

1. A charge control system comprising:

a charging apparatus including a first processor configured to cause the charging apparatus to store electric power to be supplied to a preset region; and

a charge control apparatus including a second processor configured to calculate a charge amount of the charging apparatus and perform charging control for the charging apparatus based on the calculated charge amount, wherein

when calculating the charge amount, the second processor calculates the charge amount in a manner that the charge amount, which is calculated in a case where an engine driving prohibited zone where engine driving is prohibited is set in the region, is greater than the charge amount in a case where the engine driving prohibited zone is not set in the region.

2. The charge control system according to claim 1 , wherein the second processor

calculates the charge amount for each of a plurality of zones to be set in the region, and

when calculating the charge amounts, calculates a charge amount in a zone where the engine driving prohibited zone is set to be larger than a charge amount in a zone where the engine driving prohibited zone is not set.

3. A charge control apparatus comprising:

a processor configured to

calculate a charge amount of a charging apparatus that stores electric power to be supplied to a preset region, and

perform charging control for the charging apparatus based on the calculated charge amount, wherein

when calculating the charge amount, the processor calculates the charge amount in a manner that the charge amount, which is calculated in a case where an engine driving prohibited zone where engine driving is prohibited is set in the region, is greater than the charge amount in a case where the engine driving prohibited zone is not set in the region.

4. The charge control apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the processor

calculates the charge amount for each of a plurality of zones to be set in the region, and

when calculating the charge amounts, calculates a charge amount in a zone where the engine driving prohibited zone is set to be larger than a charge amount in a zone where the engine driving prohibited zone is not set.

5. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a charge control program that causes a processor to:

calculate a charge amount of a charging apparatus that stores electric power to be supplied to a preset region;

perform charging control for the charging apparatus based on the calculated charge amount; and

when calculating the charge amount, the processor calculates the charge amount in a manner that the charge amount, which is calculated in a case where an engine driving prohibited zone where engine driving is prohibited is set in the region, is greater than the charge amount in a case where the engine driving prohibited zone is not set in the region.

6. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing the charge control program according to claim 5 that causes the processor to:

calculate the charge amount for each of a plurality of zones to be set in the region; and

when calculating the charge amounts, calculate a charge amount in a zone where the engine driving prohibited zone is set to be larger than a charge amount in a zone where the engine driving prohibited zone is not set.
