<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a charging system for a plug-in hybrid vehicle, facilitating heating of a vehicle cabin and warm-up of a catalyst using the waste heat of an internal combustion engine, while reducing an energy loss. <P>SOLUTION: The charging system 10 charges a battery 25 by means of a charging device 11 when the vehicle is stopped, to a plug-in hybrid vehicle 20 having a waste heat utilization device 23 for utilizing the waste feat from the engine 21 for heating the vehicle cabin and warming up the catalyst, and the battery 25 that supplies electric power to a motor-generator 22 and regenerates an electric power from the motor-generator 22. In the charging system 10, if it is determined that the waste heat utilization device 23 needs to be operated by starting the engine 21 when the vehicle starts running next time, the charge amount of the battery 25 when the vehicle starts running next time is set by reducing a full-charge charge amount Qfull by a predetermined amount A. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
