Claim 2:
3. A vehicle, comprising:
an electric energy storage device configured to be electrically connected to a power network; and
a control device configured to perform charge and discharge control and temperature adjustment control of the electric energy storage device, wherein:
the temperature adjustment control includes temperature increase control in which a temperature of the electric energy storage device is increased and temperature reduction control in which the temperature of the electric energy storage device is reduced;
the control device is configured to operate in an operation mode selected from modes including an ON mode, a first restriction mode and a second restriction mode during a period in which a management computer for the power network requests alleviation of power shortage on the power network;
the first restriction mode is an operation mode in which execution of both the temperature increase control and the temperature reduction control is prohibited;
the second restriction mode is an operation mode in which execution of the temperature increase control is allowed and execution of the temperature reduction control is prohibited;
the ON mode is an operation mode in which execution of the temperature adjustment control is allowed;
the management computer is provided outside the vehicle and is configured to set the operation mode of the control device by wireless communication with the vehicle;
the management computer is configured to set the operation mode of the control device to the first restriction mode when the management computer requests a user of the vehicle to perform the charge and discharge control of the electric energy storage device so as to alleviate the power shortage on the power network and the user of the vehicle agrees to the request; and
the management computer is configured to set the operation mode of the control device to the ON mode when the management computer requests the user of the vehicle to perform the charge and discharge control of the electric energy storage device so as to increase power demand on the power network and the user of the vehicle agrees to the request.
