Abstract

A supply facility is configured to charge fluid to a tank of a movable object. A charging profile storage unit is provided to the movable object to store a charging profile specifying a charging pressure of fluid in each elapsed time point from a beginning of fluid charge. A charging profile transmission unit is provided to the movable object to transmit the charging profile to the supply facility. A charging profile reception unit is provided to the supply facility to receive a charging profile transmitted from the charging profile transmission unit. A charging pressure control unit is provided to the supply facility to control charging pressure of fluid according to the charging profile when fluid is charged to a movable object, which corresponds to the charging profile.
