Abstract
A vehicle includes a battery, an electric power acquirer, a power supply unit, first and second relays, a charging controller, and a first notification processor. The first relay connects the battery to a power supply line or disconnects the battery from the power supply line. The charging controller switches, on a request for charging of the battery with the first relay in a connected state, the first relay to a disconnected state, brings the second relay to a connected state, and switches the first relay to a connected state to start the charging of the battery. The first notification processor gives, on the request for the charging of the battery, a user a notification of temporary shutdown of the power supply unit at a start of the charging of the battery.
