Using weather information including the specified section, the processing unit creates the power-supply plan in which a ratio of a second amount of electric power, which is supplied from the at least one wireless power-supply equipment to the vehicle, to the first amount of electric power is less in a first case in which deposition is determined to be present on the specified section than in a second case in which deposition is determined to be not present on the at least one specified section.

A control system includes a motor-generator, an electric power generation system, and a battery. An EV operation, in which the electric motor is operated while the electric power generation system is stopped, is performed, when an SOC of the battery is higher than a first value, and an HV operation, in which the electric motor is operated while the electric power generation system is operated, is performed, when the SOC is lower than the first value. At the time of the EV operation, in response to a predicted value of the SOC being equal to or higher than a second set value which is lower than the first set value, the EV operation is continued even if the SOC falls below the first value. The predicted value is a predicted value of the SOC assuming continuation of the EV operation from a current location to a destination.
