Abstract
An apparatus and a method for preventing overheating of a charging inlet are provided. The apparatus includes a charging time measuring unit that measures a charging time and a temperature estimating unit that estimates a temperature of the charging inlet based on the measured charging time and a charging parameter. A charging parameter setting unit sets the charging parameter by communicating with a charger and resets the charging parameter to prevent the temperature of the charging inlet from exceeding a threshold temperature.
