Abstract
A control apparatus of a vehicle includes an input and output port configured to input and output signals transmitted and received between the vehicle and a charger and an electronic control unit configured to control the transmission and reception of the signals through the input and output port according to a communication sequence defined in order to charge an electric power storage device. The communication sequence defines that the vehicle proceeds with the communication sequence based on a content represented by the signal received by the vehicle from the charger. The electronic control unit is configured to proceed with the communication sequence regardless of the content represented by a predetermined specific signal when the signal received from the charger is the predetermined specific signal.
