Abstract
A vehicle comprising a battery, a power converter, a charger, a first and a second temperature adjustment circuit including a first and a second pumps for supplying a heat medium, a coupling passage which forms a coupling circuit by coupling the first and the second temperature adjustment circuits, a switching unit capable of switching a state between a circulation state and a non-circulation state, and a control device to select one mode from a plurality of modes. The plurality of modes includes a series mode in which the heat medium is circulated in the coupling circuit in the circulation state and a separate mode in which the heat medium is circulated in at least the second temperature adjustment circuit in the non-circulation state. The control device executes the series mode when charging the battery.
