Abstract: A power management system includes a vehicle, a charge and discharge apparatus including a cable and a connector, and a command device. The vehicle includes an inlet, a lock device, an electrical storage device, and a controller. The command device, just before an exchange of electric power with the vehicle is started, sends a lock command to the controller to cause the lock device to lock the connector such that the connector does not come off from the inlet. The controller controls the lock device such that the connector is locked upon receiving the lock command and sends a completion signal to the command device upon confirming that the connector is locked. The command device, when not receiving the completion signal after sending the lock command, resends the lock command, and, when, after resending the lock command, failing to confirm that the connector is locked, stops resending the lock command.
