FEEDING CONNECTOR FOR FEEDING ELECTRIC POWER FROM VEHICLE TO EXTERNAL POWER RECEIVING DEVICE, METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING THE CONNECTOR, SYSTEM FOR IDENTIFYING THE CONNECTOR, AND FEEDING SYSTEM USING THE CONNECTOR

摘要

A feeding connector that connects a vehicle with an external power receiving device when electric power is fed from the vehicle to the power receiving device is allowed to be fitted to a connecting portion to which a charging connector that connects the vehicle with an external feeding device is fitted when an electric storage device installed on the vehicle is charged with electric power from the feeding device, and, when the feeding connector is in a particular condition of fit with the connecting portion, an impedance of a particular signal path provided in the feeding connector falls within an impedance range for feeding which is set as a range of impedance different from an impedance range for charging which is set as a range of impedance of a signal path provided in the charging connector and corresponding to the particular signal path. A method for identifying the feeding connector, a system for identifying the feeding connector, and a feeding system using the feeding connector are also provided.
