Abstract

L'objectif de la présente invention est de fournir un système de commande de véhicule capable de charger une batterie sans problème, même dans une situation dans laquelle il est difficile de charger la batterie. Un système de commande de véhicule (VC) est un système de commande d'un véhicule capable de charger une batterie (55) à l'aide d'une alimentation électrique externe, et comprend : un dispositif de climatisation de véhicule (1) qui est alimenté en énergie à partir de la batterie pour climatiser un intérieur de véhicule, et qui régule la température de la batterie; une unité d'affichage de quantité résiduelle de batterie qui affiche une quantité résiduelle de batterie; et une unité de commande qui commande le fonctionnement du dispositif de climatisation de véhicule, la charge et la décharge de la batterie, et l'affichage de l'unité d'affichage de quantité résiduelle de batterie. L'unité de commande laisse une quantité de charge de réserve capable d'entraîner le dispositif de climatisation de véhicule dans la batterie lorsque la quantité de charge résiduelle dans la batterie, affichée par l'unité d'affichage de quantité résiduelle de batterie, est nulle.
