An EV management system includes one or more processors, and one or more storage devices storing a program to be executed by the one or more processors. The one or more storage devices store charge/discharge request management information configured to manage charge/discharge requests from a plurality of chargers. Each of the charge/discharge requests indicates a location of a charger and a requested action specifying either charging an EV or discharging an EV. The one or more processors are configured to identify a destination of transport, select a first charge/discharge request of a first charger from the charge/discharge request management information based on the destination and the locations of the plurality of chargers, select a first EV for pursuing the transport to the destination from the plurality of EVs; and instruct the first EV to respond to the first charge/discharge request.
