Abstract

A charging apparatus includes: an electric power source circuit including a first inverter and a second inverter to drive one motor; and a charging port having a positive electrode terminal connected to a positive electrode side of a first storage battery, and a negative electrode terminal connected to a negative electrode side of a second storage battery. In the case where the battery charger outputs first electric power, the first storage battery and the second storage battery are connected in parallel when being charged with the first electric power. In the case where the battery charger outputs second electric power that is larger than the first electric power, the first storage battery and the second storage battery are connected in series when being charged with the second electric power.
