Abstract
A charging cable to charge an electric power storage device mounted on a vehicle with electric power from an external power source includes a switcher that switches the charging cable between a charging enable state where a charging of the electric power storage device is enabled and a charging disable state where the charging of the electric power storage device is disabled, a connection plug to be connected to the external power source, and a connection determinator that determines whether a connection state between the connection plug and the external power source changes between a conduction state and a non-conduction state. The switcher puts the charging cable into the charging enable state in accordance with a command from a user. The switcher puts the charging cable into the charging disable state when the connection state changes.
