An adaptor (40) changes the frequency of a pilot signal (CPLT) sent to a charging ECU (18) of a vehicle (10), according to the type of an external electric power source (50) connected to the adaptor (40) (a solar battery (50A), an electric power supply system (50B), etc.). The charging ECU (18) of the vehicle (10) identifies the type of the external electric power source (50) on the basis of the frequency of the pilot signal (CPLT) from the adaptor (40). Then, the charging ECU (18) controls a charger (16) according to the identified type of The external electric power source (50). The charger (16), on the basis of a signal PWC from the charging ECU (18), converts the voltage of electric power supplied from the external electric power source (50), and charges an electricity storage device (12) with the voltage-converted electric power. |
