Abstract
A power supply system includes a vehicle equipped with a battery, a power supply device, and a control device that controls power supply from the power supply device to the vehicle. The vehicle includes an engine and a motor that receives the power supplied from the battery to generate traveling drive force. When the power supply by the power supply device is requested from the vehicle, the control device (a) acquires a remaining amount of fuel for the engine from the vehicle, (b) outputs an instruction to urge the vehicle to shorten a charging time when the remaining amount of fuel is larger than a reference value, and (c) sets at least one of a unit price for charging power or a unit price for fuel lower when a response to accept the instruction is received from the vehicle compared with when the instruction is not accepted.
