Charging facility information providing system and electrically driven vehicle

Abstract

It is an object of the present invention to provide a charging facility information providing system capable of acquiring optimum charging plan and charging facility information without applying the load to the user. The charging facility information providing system includes: an electrically driven vehicle, a charging facility, and a management center, wherein, in the case of charging the storage battery, the electrically driven vehicle and the charging facility perform charge communication, the electrically driven vehicle sends travel plan information, to the charging facility by the charge communication during the charge of the storage battery, the charging facility transfers the travel plan information sent from the electrically driven vehicle to the management center through an information network, then based on the travel plan information received from the charging facility, the management center creates a charging plan which is matched with the running route of the electrically driven vehicle, acquires charging facility information of a charging facility at a scheduled charging place included in the charging plan, and sends the charging plan and the charging facility information to the charging facility through the information network and the charging facility transfers the acquired charging plan and the charging facility information to the electrically driven vehicle by the charge communication.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a charging equipment information providing system, in particular to a charging equipment information providing system for electric vehicles such as EV (electric vehicle) and PHEV (plug-in hybrid electric vehicle). Background technique [0002] When traveling long distances with an electric vehicle during leisure or the like, it is considered that it is impossible to determine which charging facility should be passed because the driver travels in an area unfamiliar to the driver. In this case, in addition to searching for the route to the destination using a navigation system, the user also needs to search for charging devices around the route in advance, which is troublesome. [0003] As an electric vehicle charging facility information providing system, for example, as disclosed in Patent Document 1, there is known a method in which a mobile communication terminal transmits the current position information and destinat...
