Description

  The present invention relates to a building in which a charging device for charging an electric vehicle using a power receiving facility of a building body is provided, and a shared parking space provided with the charging device is provided in a part of a plurality of parking spaces. .

The driving energy of automobiles is changing from fossil fuels that have exhaust gas problems to electrical energy. Electric energy is supplied to the automobile by charging an on-vehicle rechargeable battery.
The charger includes a quick charger and a normal charger, and each has the following characteristics.
While the quick charging device has the advantage that it can be charged in a short time, the device itself has a large electric capacity, so when the device is installed in a building, the power receiving facility capacity of the building is increased accordingly. In addition, there are disadvantages that cannot be used in ordinary homes where a three-phase power supply is not normally installed.
The normal charging device can use a single-phase 100V or 200V commercial AC power supply, but has a disadvantage that it takes time to charge. In addition, the electric capacity of the ordinary charging device is relatively small compared to the electric capacity of the quick charging device. However, when charging is performed at the same time by installing ordinary charging devices in a large number of parking spaces, the electric capacity is the power receiving equipment of the building It can also have a significant effect on capacity.
If the charging device as described above is provided in a building having a plurality of parking spaces, if considering the economics of the power receiving facility capacity of the building, charging devices are not provided in all parking spaces, It is conceivable that a charging device is provided in the parking space so that the parking space with the charging device (hereinafter simply referred to as “charging parking space”) can be shared.
When the charging device is used in common, it is necessary to use the charging parking space as effectively as possible. For this purpose, it is preferable that the electric vehicle is immediately removed from the charging parking space when charging is completed. .
Conventionally, for this type of building, only when the user of the charging device goes to the installation location of the charging control device in the building and asks the charging control device for "charging information of his own electric vehicle" For example, there has been one in which the charging control device is configured to return a charging end time or the like to a user's remote control or a mobile phone (for example, see Patent Document 1).
