VEHICULAR CHARGING SYSTEM

DRIVE October 5, 2011
Source
A charging ECU (46) causes a charger (42) to perform quick charging until a state of charge of a power storage device (10-1 to 10-3) reaches a predetermined state. The charging ECU (46) causes the charger (42) to perform additional charging during which charging progresses more slowly than the quick charging, when the state of charge comes closer to full charge than the predetermined state. The charging ECU (46) stops charging of the power storage device by the charger (42) when the state of charge of the power storage device reaches a charging stop threshold value during the additional charging, and stops charging of the power storage device by the charger (42) when a time of the additional charging exceeds a predetermined time even if the state of charge of the power storage device does not reach the charging stop threshold value.
