A charging port (110) receives electric power supplied from a power supply (210) external to a vehicle. A charger (120) is configured to convert a voltage of electric power input from the charging port (110) and charge a power storage device (70). A block heater (140) receives operation power from the charger (120) and warms up an engine (10). When the block heater (140) is connected to a power supply port (130) electrically connected to the charger (120), an ECU (165) controls the charger (120) to give higher priority to power feeding to the block heater (140) than to charging of the power storage device (70).
