1. An electric power management system configured to perform an exchange of electric power between an electric power storage device and an electric system of a counterparty of the exchange of the electric power, the electric power management system comprising:
a plurality of vehicles, each including the electric power storage device; and
a server including a processor, wherein
the processor is configured to
detect a predetermined operation of a user that correlates with termination of the exchange of the electric power,
calculate an estimated time for the termination of the exchange of the electric power in a case where the predetermined operation is detected, wherein the estimated time is calculated by adding a required period for a vehicle to leave a virtual power plant to a time when the predetermined operation is detected, and the required period is stored in the server in advance, and
distribute the electric power to be exchanged by the vehicle in which the exchange of the electric power is estimated to be terminated at the calculated estimated time to another vehicle that exchanges the electric power with the electric system.
