Abstract
A power source device for a vehicle may include: a power source; a DC outlet which may feed power from the power source to an external device external to the vehicle; a service receptacle which may be provided, within a vehicle interior, separately from the DC outlet; an operator by which a user may request power feed from the DC outlet to the external device; and a vehicle ECU which may control power supply from the power source to the DC outlet and the service receptacle. When the vehicle ECU receives, from the operator, an input requesting the power feed to the external device, the vehicle ECU may stop the power supply to the service receptacle and cause the DC outlet to perform the power supply. With the configuration described above, the possibility of failure to turn off an in-vehicle electric apparatus is reduced.
