An electric vehicle 10 with fuel cells 30 mounted thereon has a fuel tank 20 that stores a fuel therein, and a connector receptor 40 that is connected to the fuel tank 20 and is open to the surface of the vehicle body. A connector of a predetermined hydrogen supply device is fitted in and attached to the connector receptor 40, so that a supply of fuel is fed from the hydrogen supply device to the electric vehicle 10. The connector receptor 40 is provided with a fuel lid for covering over the connector receptor 40. When it is determined that the fuel cells 30 are in a working state, the fuel lid is not opened in response to input of an opening instruction of the fuel lid in the course of fuel supply. When it is determined that the fuel lid is open, on the other hand, operation of the fuel cells 30 is not started in response to input of a starting instruction of the fuel cells 30 in the electric vehicle 10. This arrangement of the invention enhances the safety of fuel supply to any system with fuel cells. <IMAGE> |
