In this case, after reading "charging spot 10" in the charging and charging system and charging method described above with "storage battery device 20", "storage battery device 20" may be read as "charging spot 10". In the case of such replacement, for example, the “provider” in the charging and charging system and charging charging method described above may provide the “battery unit 20” instead of the “charging spot 10”. The "user" may have the "charging spot 10" instead of the "storage battery device 20", and may use the "storage battery device 20" instead of the "charging spot 10". The “provider information” is “information indicating the temporal transition of the amount of power supplied from the storage battery device 20” instead of the “information indicating the temporal transition of the amount of power supplied from the charging spot 10”. May be included. The “user information” may include “information indicating the usage time of the storage battery device 20” instead of the “information indicating the usage time of the charging spot 10”.
　また、充電課金システム及び充電課金方法は、蓄電池装置２０から充電スポット１０に電力を提供し、かつ、充電スポット１０から蓄電池装置２０に電力を提供するケースに適用してもよい。この場合、「提供者」は、「充電スポット１０」を提供するとともに、「蓄電池装置２０」を利用してもよい。「利用者」は、「蓄電池装置２０」を利用するとともに「充電スポット１０」を提供してもよい。「提供者情報」は、「充電スポット１０から供給される電力量の時間的な推移を示す情報」及び「蓄電池装置２０から供給される電力量の時間的な推移を示す情報」を含んでもよい。「利用者情報」は、「充電スポット１０の利用時間を示す情報」及び「蓄電池装置２０の利用時間を示す情報」を含んでもよい。この場合、課金サーバ３０は、充電スポット１０から蓄電池装置２０への充電（買電）と蓄電池装置２０から充電スポット１０への放電（売電）から計算された値に基づいて、課金処理を行ってもよい。 Further, the charging and charging system and the charging and charging method may be applied to the case where the storage battery device 20 supplies power to the charging spot 10 and the charging spot 10 supplies power to the storage battery device 20. In this case, the “provider” may use the “storage battery device 20” while providing the “charging spot 10”. The "user" may provide the "charging spot 10" while using the "storage battery device 20". The "provider information" may include "information indicating temporal transition of the amount of power supplied from the charging spot 10" and "information indicating temporal transition of the amount of power supplied from the storage battery device 20". . The "user information" may include "information indicating the usage time of the charging spot 10" and "information indicating the usage time of the storage battery device 20". In this case, the charging server 30 performs charging processing based on the value calculated from charging (purchasing) from the charging spot 10 to the storage battery device 20 and discharging (charging) to the charging spot 10 from the storage battery device 20.
