## Abstract

A CEMS server includes a control device that executes a notification process of notifying a user of an electrified vehicle of promotion information for promoting charge or discharge, and a storage device that stores a program executable by the control device. The control device executes the notification process in a case where a first condition and a second condition are satisfied. The control device does not execute the notification process in a case where the first condition or the second condition is not satisfied. The first condition is a condition that a destination of the electrified vehicle is a predetermined place at which the charge or discharge of the electrified vehicle is possible. The second condition is a condition that a request for the charge or discharge is estimated in a period in which the electrified vehicle is present at the predetermined place.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A management server that manages an electrified vehicle configured to execute charge or discharge that is charge from an outside of the electrified vehicle or discharge from the outside of the electrified vehicle, the management server comprising:
a processor configured to execute a notification process of notifying a user of the electrified vehicle of promotion information for promoting the charge or discharge; and
a memory configured to store a program executable by the processor, wherein:
the processor is configured to execute the notification process in a case where a first condition and a second condition are satisfied, and not to execute the notification process in a case where the first condition or the second condition is not satisfied;
the first condition is a condition that a destination of the electrified vehicle is a predetermined place at which the charge or discharge of the electrified vehicle is possible; and
the second condition is a condition that a request for the charge or discharge is predicted in a period in which the electrified vehicle is present at the predetermined place.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The management server according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to execute the notification process in a case where a third condition that a charge or discharge amount adjustable by the charge or discharge is equal to or larger than a first threshold value, the first condition, and the second condition are satisfied, and not to execute the notification process in a case where the third condition is not satisfied.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The management server according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to execute the notification process in a case where a fourth condition that a deterioration degree of a battery that is a target of the charge or discharge is equal to or smaller than a second threshold value, the first condition, and the second condition are satisfied, and not to execute the notification process in a case where the fourth condition is not satisfied.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The management server according to claim 1, wherein the processor is configured to change a notification degree of the notification process based on an estimation result of whether or not the charge or discharge of the electrified vehicle is executed at the predetermined place.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The management server according to claim 4, wherein the processor is configured to execute the notification process of notifying a first number of notification devices of the promotion information in a case where the estimation result is a result that the charge or discharge of the electrified vehicle is not executed at the predetermined place, and to execute the notification process of notifying a second number of notification devices smaller than the first number of the promotion information in a case where the estimation result is a result that the charge or discharge of the electrified vehicle is executed at the predetermined place.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The management server according to claim 1, wherein:
the electrified vehicle is configured to execute the charge or discharge in accordance with a demand response; and
the request is an increase demand response or a decrease demand response.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The management server according to claim 1, wherein:
the electrified vehicle is configured to execute the charge or discharge by insertion of a charge or discharge connector; and
the notification process is a process of promoting insertion of the charge or discharge connector into the electrified vehicle.

### Claim 8

A management system comprising:
an electrified vehicle; and
a management server configured to manage the electrified vehicle, wherein:
the electrified vehicle is configured to execute charge or discharge that is charge from an outside of the electrified vehicle or discharge from the outside of the electrified vehicle;
the management server is configured to execute a notification process of notifying a user of the electrified vehicle to promote the charge or discharge in a case where a first condition and a second condition are satisfied, and not to execute the notification process in a case where the first condition or the second condition is not satisfied;
the first condition is a condition that a destination of the electrified vehicle is a predetermined place at which the charge or discharge of the electrified vehicle is possible; and
the second condition is a condition that a request for the charge or discharge is predicted in a period in which the electrified vehicle is present at the predetermined place.
