Abstract
In a case where a battery is scheduled to be charged at charging equipment included in a scheduled travel route of a vehicle, a preheating control for heating the battery by the heating device is executed before the vehicle arrives at the charging equipment such that a temperature of the battery when the vehicle arrives at the charging equipment reaches a predetermined target temperature, and in response to a temperature of the battery reaching a predetermined waste heat recovery temperature, a waste heat recovery control for enabling an air conditioner to execute heating using waste heat of the battery is executed. In response to a current temperature of the battery being higher than the waste heat recovery temperature and the target temperature being higher than the waste heat recovery temperature, executing the preheating control while restricting execution of the waste heat recovery control.
