Electric vehicle charging management system using delivery-based connector attachment and detachment

Abstract

A substitution system includes a vehicle including a battery and a charging port electrically coupled to the battery, a connector configured to be detachably attached to the port and to supply power from outside to the vehicle or from the vehicle to outside, and a control device including a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to determine whether the vehicle is at a delivery destination, and when determining that the vehicle is at the delivery destination, acquire the state of charge (SOC) of the vehicle battery and information indicating whether the connector is coupled to the port, and based on the SOC and the information, determine whether to set attachment substitution in which a delivery person who visits the delivery destination to deliver an item attaches the connector to the port or detachment substitution in which the delivery person detaches the connector from the port.
