Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing method by an information processing device includes: collecting vehicle data of a power supply destination vehicle and evaluating a state of a battery of the power supply destination vehicle; calculating, from an evaluation result, at least one of a period and a cost necessary for charging the battery; determining a power supply source vehicle that supplies power to the power supply destination vehicle; and providing an incentive to a user of the power supply destination vehicle when determining that a charging method by the user of the power supply destination vehicle is a charging method that reduces deterioration of the battery of the power supply source vehicle.
