Abstract

A charging control apparatus (1) that controls charging of a plurality of vehicles connected via a power line is provided with an electrical storage section (41) that stores power supplied from a power source, a communication section that receives information relating to supply power from the plurality of vehicles, a power amount calculation section (43) that calculates a supply power amount for the plurality of vehicles based on the information, and a control section that, if the supply power amount exceeds a second threshold value combining a remaining charge amount of the electrical storage section (41) and a contractual power amount, controls supply power for the plurality of vehicles so as to become smaller than the second threshold value.
