Abstract
In response to detection of connection between a power supply outside a vehicle and a charge plug, control device invalidates key verification performed for determining whether a key of a user is regular or not, when a shift position is parking and a parking brake is active. This satisfies system start conditions, and the control device turns on respective relays to start a system, and executes charge control for charging a power storage device from the power supply outside the vehicle.
Claims9
A vehicle comprising:
- a power storage device capable of being charged;
- a charge plug for receiving an electric power for charging said power storage device from a power supply outside the vehicle;
- charging means configured to be capable of receiving the electric power input from said charge plug and charging said power storage device;
- authenticating means for determining whether a user is a regular user or not, and allowing starting of a vehicle system when it is determined that the user is the regular user;
- and
- control means for starting said vehicle system independently of the determination result of said authenticating means when said power storage device is charged from said power supply.
A control method for a vehicle allowing charging of a power storage device mounted on the vehicle from a power supply outside the vehicle, wherein
- said vehicle includes authenticating means for determining whether a user is a regular user or not, and allowing starting of a vehicle system when it is determined that the user is the regular user, and
- said control method comprises:
- a step of starting said vehicle system independently of the determination result of said authenticating means when said power storage device is to be charged from said power supply;
- and
- a step of executing the charging of said power storage device from said power supply when said vehicle system starts.
A vehicle comprising:
- a power storage device capable of being charged;
- a charge plug for receiving an electric power for charging said power storage device from a power supply outside the vehicle;
- a charging device configured to be capable of receiving the electric power input from said charge plug and charging said power storage device;
- and
- a control device executing a series of process, wherein
- said control device determines whether a user is a regular user or not, allows starting of a vehicle system when it is determined that the user is the regular user, and starts said vehicle system independently of a result of the determination whether the user is the regular user or not, at the time of charging said power storage device from said power supply.
