Abstract
A charging control apparatus for an electric vehicle comprises: a charging efficiency computation devicefor computing the charging efficiency of a driving battery; a state of change computation devicefor computing the state of change of the driving battery; and a switching devicefor switching, in response to a request from a user of the vehicle, between a first charging mode in which the chargeris controlled based on the charging efficiency to charge the driving battery, and a second charging mode in which the chargeris controlled based on the state of change to charge the driving battery
