Abstract:
In a vehicle capable of external charging, when the connection of an inlet of the vehicle with a charging cable is detected, an ECU transmits a locking command to a locking device. When it is determined that the locking device is in a locked state, the ECU permits external charging, and when it is determined that the locking device is not in the locked state, the ECU does not permit external charging. When the ECU does not permit external charging, the ECU displays information about manual locking by manual operation. When it is determined that the locking device is in the locked state after the ECU does not permit external charging, the ECU permits external charging.
