Abstract
The first charging equipment is configured to charge the electric power storage device via contact charging using a charging cable. The second charging equipment is configured to charge the electric power storage device via non-contact charging. The server includes: a determination section that determines a non-contact charging recommendation degree representing a degree of recommendation of the non-contact charging method to the user, based on a characteristic of the user; and a setting section that sets suggested equipment that is charging equipment to be suggested to the user, of the first charging equipment and the second charging equipment. When the non-contact charging recommendation degree is high, the setting section is more likely to set the second charging equipment as the suggested equipment than when the non-contact charging recommendation degree is low.
