The present invention relates to an electric vehicle and a charging control method for a battery thereof. An electric vehicle having a high-voltage battery which supplies driving power to a plurality of electric field loads comprises: a charger which is connected with an external power source to charge the high-voltage battery; a vehicle control module (VCM) which controls connection between the charger and the high-voltage battery; a battery management system (BMS) manages the state of the high-voltage battery according to the charging of the high-voltage battery or the supply of operating power from the high-voltage battery; and a voltage detection unit which detects and reports the charged state of the high-voltage battery to the battery management system, wherein the charger comprises a charger control unit, which controls to perform a power saving mode to minimize power consumption by interrupting the transmission of a driving signal for driving of the vehicle control module and battery management system when the charging of the high-voltage battery has been completed. Accordingly, even though the electric vehicle is left as it is after having been fully charged, the high-voltage is automatically charged, which makes it possible to stably operate the electric vehicle system.
