Abstract
ECU performs a process including: a step of determining whether or not the current value of the value indicating the state of the lid is a value indicating the open state; a step of determining whether or not the previous value of the value indicating the state of the lid is a value indicating the closed state; a step of performing an offset learning process if the current value is a value indicating the closed state; and a step of using the current value as the value of the previous value.
Claims4
An electrified vehicle, comprising:
- an inlet covered by a lid, the inlet having such a shape that a connector of external equipment is attachable to the inlet;
- a first detection circuit that detects an open state of the lid and detects a closed state of the lid;
- a second detection circuit that outputs a voltage indicating whether the connector is attached to the inlet;
- and
- a control device configured to perform an offset learning process when the connector is not attached to the inlet, the offset learning process being a process of calculating a correction value using a difference between the voltage output from the second detection circuit and a predetermined voltage, wherein:
- the control device performs the offset learning process after making a determination that the lid changed from the closed state to the open state.

An electrified vehicle, comprising:
- an inlet covered by a lid, the inlet having such a shape that a connector of external equipment is attachable to the inlet;
- a first detection circuit that detects an open state of the lid and detects a closed state of the lid;
- a second detection circuit that outputs a voltage indicating whether the connector is attached to the inlet;
- and
- a control device configured to perform an offset learning process when the connector is not attached to the inlet, the offset learning process being a process of calculating a correction value using a difference between the voltage output from the second detection circuit and a predetermined voltage, wherein:
- a lock mechanism that is controlled by the control device to allow the connector to be locked in the inlet, and
- the control device is configured to perform the offset learning process after making a determination that the lid is in the closed state and after making a determination that the lock mechanism has switched from a locked state to an unlocked state.

An electrified vehicle, comprising:
- an inlet having such a shape that a connector of external equipment is attachable to the inlet;
- a first detection circuit configured to determine a speed of the electrified vehicle;
- a second detection circuit configured to output a voltage indicating whether the connector is attached to the inlet;
- and
- a control device configured to perform an offset learning process after making a determination the connector is not attached to the inlet, wherein:
- the offset learning process is a process of calculating a correction value using a difference between the voltage output from the second detection circuit and a predetermined voltage, and
- the control device is configured to make the determination that the connector is not attached to the inlet based on making a determination that the speed of the electrified vehicle is equal to or greater than a threshold.
