1. A determination device comprising:
an acquisition unit that acquires sensor information output by a sensor that detects an obstacle around a vehicle to be charged; and
a control unit that specifies the obstacle that is located around the vehicle, based on the sensor information, and determines whether charging of the vehicle by a power supply vehicle is possible,
wherein when the obstacle located around the vehicle is specified, the control unit generates notifications of different contents and suitability of charging the vehicle based on a difference in distance from the obstacle to a charging port to which a charging cable is connected when the vehicle is charged.
