Abstract
If sensed a connector as being connected to an inlet, an ECU performs pre-charging of a capacitor. When pre-charging of the capacitor is completed, the ECU closes a relay, and controls a U-phase boost chopper circuit to boost a voltage of the capacitor. The ECU closes relays if the voltage is boosted to a second target voltage.
