Abstract
A vehicle includes a battery to which electric power supplied from electric vehicle supply equipment is charged. A green zone exists in which traveling of a vehicle using an amount of electric power that has a greenhouse gas emission intensity greater than a regulatory limit is restricted. A server includes: I/O ports through which the emission intensity of the electric power supplied from the electric vehicle supply equipment is obtained; and a processor that associates the amount of electric power charged from the electric vehicle supply equipment to the battery with the emission intensity obtained through the I/O ports. The processor: permits the vehicle to travel within the green zone using an amount of electric power having an emission intensity less than the regulatory limit within the amount of electric power stored in the battery; and notifies the vehicle of information related to that amount of electric power.
