(ii) at least one of
(a) information indicating an amount of power consumption at the power consumer,
(b) information indicating an amount of power that the power consumer has received from the power network, and
(c) information indicating an amount of power supplied from the power consumer to the power network;
a measuring unit that measures the transmission power amount of power transmitted between the vehicle and the power consumer through the cable;
a positional information acquiring unit that acquires positional information indicating a position of the cable;
a transmission information sending unit that sends to an external managing apparatus that manages an amount of power transmission between the vehicle and the power consumer, the identification information of the power consumer, and information indicating the transmission power amount measured by the measuring unit; and
