Control method, control system, and recording medium

Abstract

A control method includes obtaining, from a terminal, reservation information including use start date and time of an electric-powered vehicle that a first user hopes to use; obtaining an amount of remaining battery of the electric-powered vehicle; determining, based on the amount of remaining battery, whether an amount of remaining battery of the electric-powered vehicle is no less than a predetermined value at the use start date and time; and transmitting, to the terminal, notification information indicating a result of the determining. For example, the determination includes calculating, based on a predetermined charging characteristic unique to a battery of the electric-powered vehicle, an amount of remaining battery to be held by the electric-powered vehicle at the use start date and time upon the electric-powered vehicle being charged at a charging station; and determining whether the amount of remaining battery of the electric-powered vehicle is no less than the predetermined value.
