PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To facilitate utilization of external battery charging.SOLUTION: A utilization indicator IDX showing an extent of in utilization of external battery charging is calculated and transmitted to a vehicular external system (S140). The vehicular external system provides a service or imposes a penalty based on the utilization indicator IDX (S160 to S190). Herein, in a case where it is determined that the utilization extent of the external battery charging based on the utilization indicator IDX is low, the vehicular external system provide a poor service or imposes a severe penalty when compared to a case of high, a driver or an owner of the vehicle likely determines that the utilization indicator implies that the external battery charging is frequently utilized. As a result, utilization of the external battery charging is facilitated.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】外部充電の利用を促進する。【解決手段】外部充電の利用の程度を示す利用指標ＩＤＸを演算して車外システムに送信する（Ｓ１４０）。車外システムは、利用指標ＩＤＸに基づいてサービスを提供したりペナルティを課したりする（Ｓ１６０〜Ｓ１９０）。この際、車外システムは、利用指標ＩＤＸにより外部充電の利用の程度が低いと判断したときには高いと判断したときに比して冷遇したサービスを提供したり重度のペナルティを課すものとすれば、車両の運転者や所有者は利用指標が外部充電の利用の程度が高いと判断されるようになる。この結果、外部充電の利用を促進することができる。【選択図】図３
