Charging control device, method, and program

A charging control method of a device for controlling charging of a battery, which is a power source of a vehicle,

• the method comprising the steps of:
• calculating and obtaining a necessary capacity, which is a necessary capacity of the battery, based on at least one of an average value of a traveling distance of the vehicle and an average value of a consuming amount of the battery for a predetermined time;
• calculating and obtaining a time necessary for charging from a currently remaining amount of the battery to the necessary capacity as a charging time;
• setting a charging start time of the battery between a current time and a time in which the charging time is subtracted from a set time set by a user, and setting a time the charging time elapsed from the charging start time as a charging end time;
• and
• controlling to charge the battery from the set charging start time to the charging end time.

A program for causing a computer to execute the processes of:

• calculating and obtaining a necessary capacity, which is a necessary capacity of the battery, based on at least one of an average value of a traveling distance of the vehicle and an average value of a consuming amount of the battery for a predetermined time;
• calculating and obtaining a time necessary for charging from a currently remaining amount of the battery to the necessary capacity as a charging time;
• setting a charging start time of the battery between a current time and a time in which the charging time is subtracted from a set time set by a user, and setting a time the charging time elapsed from the charging start time as a charging end time;
• and
• controlling to charge the battery from the set charging start time to the charging end time.
