Abstract
When energization drive is applied to a connection detection transistor connected with an auxiliary battery, a power-supply opening/closing device is closed through a relaying connection device; a microprocessor in a charge control apparatus starts its operation through a stabilized power source; then, the resistance value of a first resistor is calculated based on respective measurement voltages at related points, which are inputted to a multi-channel A/D converter, so that the type of a charging cable is detected.
