Abstract

A charge control system includes: a charging apparatus; and a charge control device including a processor calculating a charge amount of the charging apparatus and perform charging control. Further, the charge amount is calculated in a manner that a first charge amount is greater than a second charge amount, the first charge amount being the charger amount which is charged in a first time period which is from a predetermined reference time point until the engine driving prohibited zone is set, the second charge amount being the charger amount which is charged in a second time period which is from the predetermined reference time point until the engine driving prohibited zone is set, and the first time period being shorter than the second time period.

Claims (21)

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 device 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

in the region, at a preset time point, an engine driving prohibited zone is set where driving of an engine of a vehicle traveling in the region is prohibited, and

the second processor calculates the charge amount in a manner that a first charge amount is greater than a second charge amount, the first charge amount being the charger amount which is charged in a first time period which is from a predetermined reference time point until the engine driving prohibited zone is set, the second charge amount being the charger amount which is charged in a second time period which is from the predetermined reference time point until the engine driving prohibited zone is set, and the first time period being shorter than the second time period.

2. The charge control system according to claim 1 , wherein the second processor calculates the charge amount in a manner that the larger the size of the engine driving prohibited zone is, the greater the charge amount is.

3. The charge control system according to claim 1 , wherein the second processor calculates the charge amount in a manner that the longer a period in which the engine driving prohibited zone is being set, the greater the charge amount is.

4. A charge control device 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

in the region, at a preset time point, an engine driving prohibited zone is set where driving of an engine of a vehicle traveling in the region is prohibited, and

the processor calculates the charge amount in a manner that a first charge amount is greater than a second charge amount, the first charge amount being the charger amount which is charged in a first time period which is from a predetermined reference time point until the engine driving prohibited zone is set, the second charge amount being the charger amount which is charged in a second time period which is from the predetermined reference time point until the engine driving prohibited zone is set, and the first time period being shorter than the second time period.

5. The charge control device according to claim 4 , wherein the second processor calculates the charge amount in a manner that the larger the size of the engine driving prohibited zone is, the greater the charge amount is.

6. The charge control device according to claim 4 , wherein the second processor calculates the charge amount in a manner that the longer a period in which the engine driving prohibited zone is being set, the greater the charge amount is.

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

calculate, at a preset time point, a charge amount of a charging apparatus that stores electric power to be supplied to a preset region in which an engine driving prohibited zone is set where driving of an engine of a vehicle traveling in the region is prohibited; and

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

in the calculating, the charge amount is calculated in a manner that a first charge amount is greater than a second charge amount, the first charge amount being the charger amount which is charged in a first time period which is from a predetermined reference time point until the engine driving prohibited zone is set, the second charge amount being the charger amount which is charged in a second time period which is from the predetermined reference time point until the engine driving prohibited zone is set, and the first time period being shorter than the second time period.

8. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing the charge control program according to claim 7 , wherein, in the calculating, the larger the size of the engine driving prohibited zone is, the greater the charge amount is.

9. The non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing the charge control program according to claim 7 , wherein, in the calculating, the longer a period in which the engine driving prohibited zone is being set, the greater the charge amount is.
