The service server 30 transmits the general information (including name and location) of the selected tourist destination and the vehicle delivery time to the charge server 40 of the electric vehicle charging station.

Then, the service server 30 can provide the information (name, representative name, address, telephone number, etc.) of the selected electric car charging station together with detailed information of the selected tourist destination and the vehicle delivery time to the user. The reason why the information of the selected electric car charging station is provided to the user is to understand where the electric car is charged.

 On the other hand, the charging server 40 of the electric vehicle charging station receiving the notification message informing of the selection result by the above-described step S16 receives the notification message (the current location of the user, user information (name, resident registration number, telephone number, ), Remaining battery power, etc.) to the employee terminal 60.

Accordingly, the employee goes to the place where the report charge vehicle (electric car) parked the information in the notification message (i.e., the user's current location), and drives the charge target vehicle to the electric car charging station instead (S28).

Thereafter, the charging target vehicle brought to the electric vehicle charging station is charged (S30). At this time, the charging server 40 receives the information (including the name and location) of the tourist destination selected for each vehicle to be charged and the vehicle delivery time and displays it on the display unit 43 (see FIG. 6) The charging of the vehicle to be charged is completed.

The charging server 40 of the charging station of the electric vehicle charging station stores the information (including the name and the location) of the tourist spot corresponding to the charged electric vehicle, user information (including the name, resident registration number, telephone number, And transmits the vehicle delivery time to the employee terminal (60). Thus, the staff member of the electric vehicle charging station drives the charged electric vehicle to the vehicle delivery place at the time of the vehicle delivery, and delivers it to the user (S32).

In addition, the additional service providing method according to the battery charging request of the electric vehicle according to the present invention can be implemented as a computer-readable code on a computer-readable recording medium. A computer-readable recording medium includes all kinds of recording apparatuses in which data that can be read by a computer system is stored. Examples of the computer-readable recording medium include ROM, RAM, CD-ROM, magnetic tape, floppy disk, optical data storage, and the like. The computer readable recording medium may also be distributed over a networked computer system so that computer readable code can be stored and executed in a distributed manner. And, functional programs, codes and code segments for implementing the above method can be easily inferred by programmers of the technical field to which the present invention belongs.
