Abstract

Conformément à une condition de recherche qui a été établie par l'utilisateur d'un véhicule (10) par utilisation d'un dispositif de terminal d'informations (20), un centre de support de charge (30) recherche un socle de charge (42) prévu par l'utilisateur. De manière spécifique, si l'utilisateur établit une condition de recherche qui est destinée à donner une plus grande priorité à la prévention de la dégradation de performances qui accompagne la charge d'une batterie (11), le centre (30) recherche un socle de charge (42) normal au moyen duquel une dégradation de performances est empêchée même si le temps de charge de la batterie (11) est long. A cet instant, si le magasin (40) est bondé, le centre (30) recherche un socle de charge (42) rapide installé dans le magasin (40) ou un socle de charge (42) normal dans un autre magasin (40). Le centre (30) acquiert également des informations de gain associées au socle (42) recherché et présente le socle (42) recherché et les informations de gain à l'utilisateur par l'intermédiaire du dispositif (20).
