In a vehicle including an EHC containing a catalyst base material and an insulator insulating the EHC from the outside, an ECU estimates a temperature of the catalyst base material and a temperature of the insulator immediately after a state of the vehicle is switched from a Ready-OFF state to a Ready-ON state, as a base material temperature for determination THcpost and an insulator temperature for determination THipost, respectively (240). Then, when base material temperature for determination THcpost is lower than a base material threshold temperature THcth and when insulator temperature for determination THipost is lower than an insulator threshold temperature THith, the ECU allows EHC power feed, and otherwise it does not allow but prohibits EHC power feed (250). |
