An electric power source used with a vehicle includes: a battery block composed of a rechargeable battery; a cooling plate thermally coupled with the battery block to cool the battery; a cooling mechanism for cooling the cooling plate; and a controller for controlling the cooling mechanism to switch the cooling plate into a cooled state and an uncooled state. The controller controls the cooling mechanism both in accordance with temperature of the battery block and temperature of the cooling plate, and switches the cooling plate into the cooled state and the uncooled state.
