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.
Claims6
A vehicle comprising:
- a power storage device configured to be charged by a charging power supplied from an external power supply through a charging relay;
- a monitoring device configured to monitor a charging state of the power storage device being charged by the external power supply;
- and
- an electronic control unit communicatively coupled to the monitoring device and the charging relay,
- the electronic control unit configured to:
- detect an abnormality of the charging power received from the external power supply by monitoring the charging state with the monitoring device when two or more of the following occur:
- a difference between a charging current command value and a charging current detected by the monitoring device is not within a predetermined range,
- a charging voltage detected by the monitoring device is greater than a charging voltage upper-limit value, or
- a temperature of a vehicle inlet detected by the monitoring device is greater than a predetermined temperature, and
- in response to detection of the abnormality, execute a stop process, the stop process includes switching OFF the charging relay.
