Original Abstract Submitted
the present disclosure provides a vehicle management device used for a vehicle that includes a drive unit for traveling, a power storage device that is able to supply power to the drive unit, and a solar cell system that is able to generate power from a solar cell and supply the power to the power storage device, and that is able to perform external charging in which the power storage device is charged with power from an outside of the vehicle. when the vehicle is parked, a target external charging amount of the external charging is set to a value obtained by subtracting, from a target power storage amount of the power storage device at a next scheduled traveling start time, a predicted power generation amount of the solar cell up to the next scheduled traveling start time.
