Abstract
A plug lock device that allows for a power plug fitted to an inlet to be switched between a lock state and an unlock state. The plug lock device includes a communication unit capable of communicating with the power plug and a control unit configured to identify the power plug fitted to the inlet based on the communication performed by the communication unit. The control unit is operable based on the identification of the power plug in a lock restriction mode that restricts switching of the power plug to the lock state.
