Abstract
A vehicle includes a battery, an electric power acquirer, a relay, a pre-charge relay, a power supply unit, and a controller. The controller performs a control of electric power transmission through a power line of the vehicle. The controller executes pre-charge processing on a request for operation of the power supply unit, with the relay being in a disconnected state, and with the electric power acquirer being available for electric power acquisition. The pre-charge processing includes raising a voltage of the power line by switching the pre-charge relay. The controller causes a transition of a mode of the electric power transmission to a direct transmission mode. The direct transmission mode includes transmitting electric power acquired by the electric power acquirer to the power supply unit.
