Abstract
A vehicle includes an electric-device temperature acquisition unit, a charging controller, and a predicted charging time deriving unit. The electric-device temperature acquisition unit acquires a temperature of an electric device disposed in a current path for external charging for supplying electric power from a power supply external to the vehicle to a battery mounted in the vehicle. The charging controller pauses a supply of electric power to the battery in response to the temperature of the electric device becoming greater than or equal to a first threshold during the external charging, and resumes the supply of electric power to the battery in response to the temperature of the electric device becoming less than a second threshold lower than the first threshold. The predicted charging time deriving unit derives a predicted charging time predicted to be taken for the external charging in accordance with an instruction for the external charging.
