The invention discloses a server and a control method thereof. The server may include a transceiver configured to communicate with the charger; and a controller configured to determine a required state of charge (SoC) based on state information of the vehicle; controlling a charger to increase (e.g., maximize) an expected profit based on charging and discharging from the SoC of the vehicle to the desired SoC and a charging cost for a period of time; and adjusting a charging cost of the time period while controlling the charger such that a first charging cost at a start time of a first time period of the time period is lower than a constant charging cost of the first time period, and the first charging cost gradually (e.g., linearly) increases during the first time period. 本发明公开了服务器及其控制方法。服务器可包括：收发器，被配置为与充电器通信；以及控制器，被配置为基于车辆的状态信息确定所需的充电状态(SoC)；基于从车辆的SoC到所需的SoC的充电和放电以及时间段的充电成本来控制充电器增加(例如，最大化)预期利润；以及在控制充电器的同时，调整时间段的充电成本，使得在时间段的第一时间段的开始时刻处的第一充电成本低于第一时间段的恒定的充电成本，并且第一充电成本在第一时间段逐渐地(例如，线性地)增加。
