ELECTRIC VEHICLE

An electric vehicle suppresses the discharge of an auxiliary battery for supplying electric power to a control circuit for controlling a charging process while performing timer-charging. When the charging start timing set by a user comes after specified elapsed time, the power supply from an internal power supply circuit 35 to a CPU 36 etc. is stopped until the power supply is started from a charging station 12 to an electric vehicle 13. When the stopped power supply is started, the power supply from the internal power supply circuit 35 to the CPU 36 etc. is resumed.
