PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable an environment correspondence type vehicle to use only clean energy, and to enable the user of car sharing to recognize that only the clean energy is used.SOLUTION: When a power generation base point supplies renewable energy to a car station 20, an energy management server 100 receives the place of the car station to which the renewable energy has been supplied from the power generation base point, and transmits power generation method data relating to the power generation method of the power generation base point to the car station to which the renewable energy has been supplied. Then, the car station 20 receives the power generation method data from the energy management server 100, and when receiving energy supply from the power generation base point, selects one supply destination to which the renewable energy is supplied on the basis of the received power generation method data, and conducts charging to the selected supply destination.
