A vehicle control apparatus that controls an electronic device provided in a vehicle, the vehicle control apparatus comprising:
- an operation state detection unit that detects at least one operation state of the vehicle;
- a plurality of internal circuits that operate the electronic device;
- and
- an energization control unit that energizes at least one of the internal circuits, which is determined based on the at least one operation state, wherein:
- the energization control unit energizes only a part of the plurality of internal circuits;
- the at least one operation state includes at least one of a welcome performance state, a meter small display state, a state immediately after turning off, and a good-bye performance state;
- the welcome performance state is an operation state in which a verification of an electronic key outside of the vehicle is established and a boarding performance condition, including a closing of a driver's door after the driver's door is opened, is satisfied;
- the meter small display state is an operation state in which a small image, such as a status indicator lamp or a mileage, is displayed on a meter display;
- the state immediately after turning off is an operation state from when a power supply state is turned off until a certain time elapses;
- the good-bye performance state is an operation state in which a performance condition at a getting-off of the vehicle is satisfied, the performance condition including a condition where the power supply state is turned off and the driver's door is opened;
- the electronic device includes the meter display and a main display that displays at least one of audio-related information and a map;
- the meter display and the main display are independent from each other;
- the main display is in an on state in at least one of the welcome performance state, the state immediately after turning off and the good-bye performance state;
- and
- the main display is in an off state in the meter small display state.
