Abstract
An ECU of a vehicle monitors a charging state when charging is started. When a charging power supplied from a multi-outlet charger has changed without detecting and receiving an abnormality, the ECU causes a notification device to notify the changed charging power and a charging time based on the changed charging power. The ECU notifies a communication terminal which is owned by a user of the changed charging power and the charging time based on the changed charging power.
Claims10
A vehicle comprising:
- a communication device configured to communicate with a power supply that is disposed outside the vehicle;
- a power storage device configured to be supplied with a charging power from the power supply and to be charged;
- a notification device configured to notify information on charging;
- and
- an electronic control unit configured to calculate a charging time required for charging the power storage device based on the charging power,
- the electronic control unit being configured to:
- determine whether the electronic control unit has received an abnormality signal indicating an abnormality of the power supply from the power supply via the communication device, and
- cause the notification device to notify a changed charging power when the electronic control unit determines that the electronic control unit has not received the abnormality signal indicating the abnormality of the power supply from the power supply via the communication device and the electronic control unit determines that the charging power has changed.
A vehicle comprising:
- a communication device configured to communicate with a power supply that is disposed outside the vehicle and a communication terminal which is owned by a user of the vehicle;
- a power storage device configured to be supplied with a charging power from the power supply and to be charged;
- and
- an electronic control unit configured to calculate a charging time required for charging the power storage device based on the charging power,
- the electronic control unit being configured to:
- determine whether the electronic control unit has received an abnormality signal indicating an abnormality of the power supply from the power supply via the communication device, and
- transmit a changed charging power to the communication terminal via the communication device when the electronic control unit determines that the electronic control unit has not received the abnormality signal indicating the abnormality of the power supply from the power supply via the communication device and the electronic control unit determines that the charging power has changed.
A method of notifying charging information of a vehicle, the vehicle including an electronic control unit, the vehicle being configured to be supplied with a charging power from a power supply that is disposed outside the vehicle and to be charged, the method comprising:
- determining, by the electronic control unit, whether the electronic control unit has received an abnormality signal indicating an abnormality of the power supply from the power supply;
- determining, by the electronic control unit, whether the charging power supplied from the power supply has changed;
- and
- notifying, by a notification device, a changed charging power when the electronic control unit determines that the electronic control unit has not received the abnormality signal indicating the abnormality of the power supply from the power supply and the electronic control unit determines that the charging power has changed.
A method of notifying charging information of a vehicle, the vehicle including an electronic control unit, the vehicle being configured to be supplied with a charging power from a power supply that is disposed outside the vehicle and to be charged, the method comprising:
- determining, by the electronic control unit, whether the electronic control unit has received an abnormality signal indicating an abnormality of the power supply from the power supply;
- determining, by the electronic control unit, whether the charging power supplied from the power supply has changed;
- and
- transmitting, by a communication device, a changed charging power to a communication terminal that is owned by a user of the vehicle when the electronic control unit determines that the electronic control unit has not received the abnormality signal indicating the abnormality of the power supply from the power supply and the electronic control unit determines that the charging power has changed.
