AUTOMOBILE AND METHOD FOR CHARGING AUTOMOBILE

摘要

An ECU executes a program including a step (S100) of calculating a first charging current value in accordance with the state of a battery pack; a step (S102) of calculating a second charging current value in accordance with the current capacity of a charging cable coupling a hybrid vehicle and an external power supply to output a pilot signal CPLT indicating the current capacity; a step (S 104) of setting the smaller one of the first charging current value and the second charging current value as a third charging current value; and a step (S 108) of controlling a charger such that the output current value of the charger connected to the charging cable for controlling a value of a current supplied to the battery pack is equal to the third charging current value, for charging the battery pack.
