Original Abstract Submitted

A notification control method is a method of control by a notification control device that causes a notification apparatus to give information on a replacement apparatus for a battery where electric power for travel is stored, the battery being mounted on a vehicle. The notification control method includes obtaining from the replacement apparatus, abnormality occurrence information relating to replacement of the battery, obtaining from the replacement apparatus or the vehicle, travel-enabled-state information indicating that the battery is in an attachment state in which the vehicle is able to travel, causing the notification apparatus to give first information indicating that the vehicle is able to travel when the abnormality occurrence information and the travel-enabled-state information are obtained, and causing the notification apparatus to give second information indicating that the vehicle is unable to travel when the abnormality occurrence information is obtained and the travel-enabled-state information is not obtained.
