The charging controller is configured to change the charging quitting condition to move end of charging ahead in charging of the power storage by using a power feed facility when pricing of the power feed facility falls under time-based pricing and restriction of charging power is severer than a prescribed level, the time-based pricing being pricing that a fee is charged based on a charging time period.
