Abstract
When a prescribed operation is performed during execution of AC charging, an ECU of a vehicle performs a charging stop process. The ECU determines whether or not a resume condition is satisfied during the charging stop process. When the resume condition is satisfied and when a charging connector is connected to an inlet, the ECU brings a locking device to a locked state and resumes the AC charging. When the resume condition is not satisfied or when the charging connector is not connected to the inlet, the ECU does not resume the AC charging.
