Abstract

In a charge/discharge system having a battery mounted in an electric vehicle, a charging station that charges the battery, and a connector that connects the battery of the electric vehicle and the charging station through a power line, there are provided a detector that applies a voltage to a terminal connected to the power line of the connector and detects whether the connector connects the battery and the charging station based on change of the applied voltage, and a controller that controls charge/discharge of the battery through the connector based on the state of charge of the battery memorized in a memory when it is detected that the connector connects the battery and the charging station.
