Abstract
An electric power management system includes a plurality of the vehicles, each including a battery, and a server that manages an exchange of electric power between the battery and an electric power system of an electric power company. The server detects a predetermined operation of a user that correlates with termination of the exchange of the electric power between the battery and the electric power system. When the predetermined operation is detected, the server calculates an estimated time when the exchange of the electric power between the battery and the electric power system is terminated, and executes a process of distributing the electric power to be exchanged by the vehicle in which the exchange of the electric power with the electric power system is estimated to be terminated at the calculated estimated time to another vehicle that performs the exchange of the electric power with the electric power system.
