Abstract
A charging device to be applied to a vehicle includes a charging inlet and a charging controller. The charging inlet is to be disposed in the vehicle and is configured to be coupled to a charging connector outside the vehicle. The charging controller is configured to execute charging of an in-vehicle battery disposed in the vehicle with power fed from an outside of the vehicle through the charging inlet. The charging controller is configured to limit a charging current so as to reduce an amount of decrease in charging time resulting from an increase in how many times the charging is executed.
