Abstract
A charging system includes: a switch device and a control device. Each of charging ports is provided with a lid configured to open and close a corresponding one of the charging ports. The control device is configured to determine whether a predetermined charge prohibition condition is satisfied before starting charging an electric energy storage device using any one of the charging ports, and when the predetermined charge prohibition condition is satisfied, keep each of power paths from the charging ports to the electric energy storage device disconnected. The predetermined charge prohibition condition is satisfied when the lid of at least one charging port that is included in the charging ports and that is other than the charging port to be used is open.
