1. A charge control system comprising:
a charging apparatus including a first processor configured to cause the charging apparatus to store electric power to be supplied to at least one preset facility;
a facility server provided in the facility;
a charge control device including a second processor configured to acquire facility schedule information regarding a future schedule of the facility from the facility server, calculate an amount of electric power to be supplied to the facility based on a schedule of opening and closure of the facility included in the facility schedule information, and perform charging control for the charging apparatus based on the calculated amount of electric power; and
an automatic driving vehicle that is supplied with electric power from the charging apparatus and that accommodates a user of the facility,
wherein the second processor is configured to:
calculate amounts of electric power to be supplied to the facility and the automatic driving vehicle such that the amount of electric power to be supplied to the facility and the amount of electric power to be supplied to the automatic driving vehicle are in a predetermined ratio; and
when the facility schedule information includes a schedule of closure of the facility, calculate the amounts of electric power to be supplied to the facility and the automatic driving vehicle such that a ratio of the amount of electric power to be supplied to the facility is small and a ratio of the amount of electric power to be supplied to the automatic driving vehicle is large, with respect to the predetermined ratio.
