Abstract
An automatically charging system for an electric automobile calculates a terminal voltage of a battery and an output signal from a lux sensor is compared with a preliminarily set reference illumination to discriminate whether the automobile is indoors or outdoors. The terminal voltage is compared with preliminarily set lower and upper limit voltage. When the terminal voltage is lower than the lower limit voltage and when it is discriminated that the automobile is outdoors, it is discriminated that the engine starting condition is established. On the other hand, when it is discriminated that the automobile is indoors or when the terminal voltage is higher than the upper limit voltage, it is discriminated that the engine stopping condition is established. When the engine is started, the generator is automatically started and when the engine is stopping, the generator is automatically stopped.
