Original Abstract Submitted
A server device includes a communication unit and a control unit. The control unit is configured to acquire information on a first power purchase price from a charging point and a second power purchase price from a facility, and when the second power purchase price is lower than the first power purchase price, send to a power supply vehicle configured to supply power to another vehicle an instruction to move along a travel route that passes through the facility.
