Abstract

A vehicle includes a motor, a high voltage battery, a charger; an accessory; a first DC/DC converter, a second DC/DC converter, and an electronic control unit configured to: end the external charging, when a power storage ratio of the high voltage battery reaches a target ratio or when charged electric power of the high voltage battery becomes equal to or less than predetermined electric power before the power storage ratio of the high voltage battery reaches the target ratio, while external charging for charging the high voltage battery with the charger using electric power from the external power supply is being performed; and limit a drive of the accessory compared to when the electric power from the external power supply is greater than the predetermined electric power, when the electric power from the external power supply is equal to or less than predetermined electric power.

Claims (10)

1. A vehicle comprising:

a motor for traveling;

a high voltage battery connected to the motor through a high voltage system power line;

a charger connected to the high voltage system power line and configured to charge the high voltage battery using electric power from an external power supply;

an accessory connected to a low voltage system power line;

a first DC/DC converter connected to the high voltage system power line and the low voltage system power line and configured to supply electric power of the high voltage system power line to the low voltage system power line with deboosting a voltage;

a second DC/DC converter connected to the high voltage system power line on a charger side from the first DC/DC converter and the low voltage system power line and configured to supply electric power of the high voltage system power line to the low voltage system power line with deboosting a voltage; and

an electronic control unit configured to end the external charging, when a power storage ratio of the high voltage battery reaches a target ratio or when charged electric power of the high voltage battery becomes equal to or less than predetermined electric power before the power storage ratio of the high voltage battery reaches the target ratio, while external charging for charging the high voltage battery with the charger using electric power from the external power supply is being performed, wherein the electronic control unit is configured to limit a drive of the accessory compared to when the electric power from the external power supply is greater than the predetermined electric power, when the electric power from the external power supply is equal to or less than predetermined electric power.

2. The vehicle according to claim 1 ,

wherein the accessory is a temperature raising heater of the high voltage battery.
