Abstract
A charging system includes an electric bus and a charger. The charger includes a supply unit and a second communication unit. The supply unit supplies power to the electric bus stopped at a preset position. If power is being supplied to the electric bus by the supply unit, the second communication unit transmits a first identifier of the charger, if power is not being supplied to the electric bus by the supply unit, transmits a second identifier that is an identifier of the charger and different from the first identifier, and if a first command is received from the electric bus, transmits and receives information related to charging of a storage functional unit included in the electric bus, with the electric bus being a transmission source of the first command, using radio communication.
