A charger (65) is configured to receive electric power from an external power supply (85) and charge a main power storage device (10) and a power storage device (50) for auxiliary machinery. The charger (65) includes a capacitor for smoothing charging power outputted to the main power storage device (10). A PM-ECU (75) controls charging of the power storage device (50) for auxiliary machinery by the charger (65) such that the power storage device (50) for auxiliary machinery can receive residual electric charge in the capacitor. The PM-ECU (75) controls the charger (65), after the end of charging of the main power storage device (10) by the charger (65), such that the residual electric charge in the capacitor is discharged into the power storage device (50) for auxiliary machinery.
