Abstract
A vehicle capable of more efficiently performing reserved charging and a charging control method thereof are disclosed. A charging control method of a vehicle including an electric motor and a battery for driving the electric motor includes setting reserved charging, setting a first charging start time on the assumption that an input voltage of an external charger is a first voltage, and starting charging of the battery when the first charging start time is reached. Upon determination that a second voltage which is an actual input voltage of the external charger is different from the first voltage, a second charging start time is set in consideration of the second voltage and estimated input current. Upon determination that the second charging start time is set, the battery is normally charged when the second charging start time is reached.
