Vehicle and method of notifying charging information of vehicle

#The disclosure relates to a vehicle and a method of notifying charging information of vehicle in which a power storage device mounted in the vehicle can be charged with electric power supplied from a power supply outside the vehicle.

#Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2011-50162 (JP 2011-50162 A) discloses a vehicle including a power storage device which can be charged with a charging power supplied from a charger (a power supply) outside the vehicle. When it is detected that the supply of electric power has been cut off due to an abnormality in the charger during charging of the power storage device, the vehicle notifies a communication terminal owned by a user that the supply of charging power has been cut off.

#Recently, an increase in the power of a direct current (DC) charger that charges a power storage device mounted in a vehicle has progressed. Therewith, a DC charger that can simultaneously charge a plurality of vehicles (hereinafter also referred to as a “multi-outlet charger”) has spread. A multi-outlet charger that can simultaneously supply electric power to a plurality of vehicles within a range not exceeding a possible output power thereof when a plurality of vehicles is connected thereto is known.

#Features, advantages, and technical and industrial significance of exemplary embodiments of the disclosure will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like numerals denote like elements, and wherein:

#FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically illustrating the whole configuration of a charging system including a vehicle according to an embodiment;

#FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a routine which is performed by an ECU when a charging starting operation is performed on the vehicle according to the embodiment;

#Hereinafter, an embodiment of the disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or corresponding elements will be referred to by the same reference signs and description thereof will not be repeated.

#Charging System

#FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically illustrating the whole configuration of a charging system 5 including a vehicle 1 according to an embodiment. The charging system 5 includes a vehicle 1, a multi-outlet charger 300 that is disposed outside the vehicle 1, and a communication terminal 400 of a user.
