Abstract
An electrified vehicle includes a power storage device, a charger that charges the power storage device using power from an external power source, and a charging inlet that is connectable to a charging connector of the external power source and connected to the charger via a power line, an openable and closable charging lid that covers the charging inlet from the outside, a lock mechanism that locks the charging lid in a closed state, and a control device that controls charging of the power storage device by the charger and the lock mechanism and that is able to rewrite a program via wireless communication. The control device locks the charging lid in the closed state by the lock mechanism while rewriting of the program is being executed.
Claims3
An electrified vehicle comprising:
- a power storage device;
- a charger that charges the power storage device using electric power from an external power source;
- a charging inlet connectable to a charging connector of the external power source and connected to the charger via a power line;
- a charging lid that is openable and closable and that covers the charging inlet from an outside;
- a lock mechanism that locks the charging lid in a closed state;
- and
- an electronic control unit configured to control charging of the power storage device by the charger, to control the lock mechanism, and to rewrite a program via wireless communication, wherein
- the electronic control unit is further configured to lock the charging lid in the closed state by the lock mechanism while rewriting of the program is being executed, and to notify that an opening operation of the charging lid is not able to be performed in response to the opening operation of the charging lid being performed while the rewriting of the program is being executed.
