Electricity supply control apparatus, vehicle, and electricity supply control method

Abstract

An electricity supply control apparatus includes a storing section that stores electrical energy, a supply section that supplies the electrical energy to a drive source of a vehicle or to a load external to the vehicle, a control section that controls electricity supply from the supply section to the load, and an acquisition section that acquires information regarding a current position of the vehicle, and information regarding at least one facility located in surroundings of the current position and capable of supplying the electrical energy. The control section sets one facility from out of the at least one facility as a target destination based on a position of the facility and on a quantity of the electrical energy the facility is capable of supplying, included in the information regarding the at least one facility acquired by the acquisition section.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An electricity supply control apparatus comprising:
 a storing section that stores electrical energy;   a supply section that supplies the electrical energy to a drive source of a vehicle or to a load external to the vehicle;   a control section that controls electricity supply from the supply section to the load; and   an acquisition section that acquires information regarding a current position of the vehicle, and information regarding at least one facility located in surroundings of the current position and capable of supplying the electrical energy; wherein   the control section:
 sets one facility from out of the at least one facility as a target destination based on a position of the facility and on a quantity of the electrical energy the facility is capable of supplying, included in the information regarding the at least one facility acquired by the acquisition section; and 
 controls whether or not to supply electricity from the supply section to the load based on a distance from the current position to the target destination, and on a drivable range of the vehicle corresponding to a quantity of the electrical energy stored in the storing section. 
   
     
     
         2 . A vehicle comprising the electricity supply control apparatus according to  claim 1 . 
     
     
         3 . An electricity supply control method performed by an electricity supply control apparatus including a storing section that stores electrical energy, a supply section that supplies the electrical energy to a drive source of a vehicle or to a load external to the vehicle, a control section that controls electricity supply from the supply section to the load, and an acquisition section that acquires information regarding a current position of the vehicle, and information regarding at least one facility located in surroundings of the current position and capable of supplying the electrical energy, the electricity supply control method comprising:
 causing the control section to set one facility from out of the at least one facility as a target destination based on a position of the facility and on a quantity of the electrical energy the facility is capable of supplying, included in the information regarding the at least one facility acquired by the acquisition section; and   causing the control section to control whether or not to supply electricity from the supply section to the load based on a distance from the current position to the target destination, and on a drivable range of the vehicle corresponding to a quantity of the electrical energy stored in the storing section.
