Abstract
A plug-in vehicle capable of wired-charging a battery through a charging connector using an external charger and a method for controlling the same are provided. The method for controlling charging of a vehicle configured to perform a charging operation using external power includes determining whether a refrigerant circulation device operates normally and the amount of refrigerant is normal when a temperature sensor of a charger malfunctions. When the refrigerant circulation device operates normally and the amount of refrigerant is normal, a temperature of the charger is estimated using a temperature of a heat dissipation device through which the refrigerant passes and the output of the charger is adjusted based on the estimated temperature.
