A charging control unit determines whether the electric vehicles are coupled to the respective charging ports and calculates the estimate value Tc and the estimate value Tr for every charging port coupled. The estimate value Tc is the period from start of charging to completion of charging. The estimate value Tr is the period from completion of charging to departure. The charging control unit, when the electric vehicle coupled t last is set to the N-th vehicle and the electric vehicles already coupled are set to the first to N&#x2212;1-th vehicles in the order of being coupled, and only when Formula (4) is satisfied by all the first to N&#x2212;1-th vehicles, starts charging of the N-th vehicle. The charging control unit controls to resume charging of the vehicle that was charging immediately before the N-th vehicle started charging as soon as charging of the N-th vehicle finishes.
