1. A control system comprising:
a power storage device;
a display device;
a communication device communicable with an external computer;
an input device configured to receive an input from a user; and
a processor, wherein
the processor is configured to:
perform charge and discharge control on the power storage device;
perform display control on the display device;
cause the display device to display a screen that shows, on a graph in which an axis indicates time, a predicted transition of a first parameter relating to a remaining charge of the power storage device and a predicted transition of a second parameter relating to an amount of reward for energy management, under an assumption that the charge and discharge control is executed on the power storage device in response to an energy management request;
execute a predetermined process based on the input to the input device from the user;
cause the display device to display the screen when the communication device receives the energy management request from the external computer; and
notify the external computer about whether to accept the energy management request when information indicating whether to accept the energy management request is input to the input device after the screen is displayed.
