Abstract
A hydrogen filling apparatus includes an initial pressure acquisition unit that acquires an initial pressure in a hydrogen tank, a history acquisition unit that acquires a filling history of a requesting vehicle, a determination unit that determines, based on the filling history, whether or not the hydrogen tank will overheat if the hydrogen tank is filled with hydrogen at a filling speed corresponding to the initial pressure, and a filling control unit that fills the hydrogen tank with hydrogen at a filling speed lower than the filling speed corresponding to the initial pressure, when it is determined that the hydrogen tank will overheat.
