VEHICLE AND VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To allow the cause of failed charging to be subsequently recognized when charging is not performed due to incomplete connection of a charging cable to a vehicle inlet, in a vehicle capable of external charging by means of a charging cable.

SOLUTION: A vehicle 10 capable of external charging through a charging cable 300 includes: a power storage device 150; an inlet 270 for connecting a connector 310; a charging device 160 for charging the power storage device 150; and a vehicle ECU 170. The vehicle ECU 170 allows a charging operation to be performed when a signal SIG from the connector 310 indicative of a connection state between the connector 310 and the inlet 270 indicates a completely connected state and prohibits the charging operation and stores a failure of the charging operation due to the incompletely connected state when the same signal indicates an incompletely connected state.
