A vehicle on which a battery is mounted comprising:
- a communication device configured to be communicable with a server that performs power management in a predetermined area;
- and
- a control device configured to control transfer of power to and from charging-discharging equipment, wherein
- the control device is configured to control the transfer of power to and from the charging-discharging equipment according to a command regarding a charging-discharging instruction from the server by an arrival time at which a moving body that a user of the vehicle boards arrives at a destination, and
