Abstract
A vehicle control device mounted on a vehicle includes a power storage device, a drive device configured to be driven by electric power from the power storage device, a system main relay attached to a power line between the power storage device and the drive device, and a charge circuit connected to a side of the drive device through the system main relay of the power line, in which the vehicle control device is configured to turn off the system main relay and prohibit reactivation of the system in a power shortage of the power storage device. The vehicle control device is configured to permit the system main relay to be turned on in a case where charging of the power storage device using the charge circuit is requested.
