A vehicle includes: an electric storage device; a first temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the electric storage device; a second temperature sensor configured to detect an environmental temperature; a heater configured to warm the electric storage device; and a controller configured to control the heater. The controller is configured to: when end time of the external charging is set, calculate a remaining time period from current time to the end time; identify a temperature increasing time period that corresponds to the calculated remaining time period, the temperature of the electric storage device, and the environmental temperature by using a corresponding relationship among the remaining time period, the temperature of the electric storage device, the environmental temperature, and the temperature increasing time period; and start driving the heater such that the temperature of the electric storage device at the end time reaches the target temperature. |

1. A vehicle comprising:
an electric storage device configured to conduct external charging by using electric power from an external power source located outside of the vehicle, the electric storage device being a power source configured to make the vehicle run, a first temperature sensor configured to detect a temperature of the electric storage device, a second temperature sensor configured to detect an environmental temperature in a peripheral environment of the electric storage device, a heater configured to warm the electric storage device by receiving the electric power from the external power source to generate heat, and a controller configured to (i) when end time of the external charging is set, calculate a remaining time period from current time at a time of this setting to the end time, (ii) identify a temperature increasing time period that corresponds to the calculated remaining time period, the temperature of the electric storage device at the current time that is detected by the first temperature sensor, and the environmental temperature detected by the second temperature sensor, by using a specified corresponding relationship, the specified corresponding relationship being a corresponding relationship among the remaining time period, the temperature of the electric storage device at the current time, the environmental temperature, and the temperature increasing time period that is required for a temperature increase by driving the heater to increase the temperature of the electric storage device to a target temperature, and (iii) start driving the heater based on the end time and the temperature increasing time period such that the temperature of the electric storage device at the end time reaches the target temperature. |
