Abstract
A power source control device includes a charging state detector configured to detect a charging state of a drive battery mounted on an electric vehicle and a power source mode switch configured to switch a power source mode of the electric vehicle, wherein the power source mode switch configured to switch the power source mode to an OFF mode in a case that charging of the drive battery is stopped while the power source mode is set at an ON mode.
Claims18
A power source control device comprising:
- a charging state detector configured to detect a charging state of a drive battery mounted on an electric vehicle;
- and
- a power source mode switch configured to switch a power source mode of the electric vehicle,
- wherein the power source mode switch is configured to automatically switch the power source mode from an ON mode in which a power source for an electric device is turned on to an OFF mode in which the power source is turned off in a case that charging of the drive battery is stopped while the power source mode is set at the ON mode.
A power source control method comprising:
- a detecting process of detecting a charging state of a drive battery mounted on an electric vehicle;
- and
- a power source mode switching process of switching a power source mode of the electric vehicle,
- wherein the power source mode switching process automatically switches the power source mode from an ON mode in which a power source for an electric device is turned on to an OFF mode in which the power source is turned off in a case that charging of the drive battery is stopped while the power source mode is set at the ON mode.
