Abstract

In a vehicle (), a power storage device () mounted thereon can be charged with electric power transmitted from an external power supply device (A) via a power cable (A). The vehicle () includes a PLC communication unit () for establishing PLC communication with the external power supply device (A) via the power cable (). An ECU () starts transmission of a signal from the PLC communication unit () to the external power supply device (A) in response to connection of the power cable () to an inlet (). When a response from the external power supply device (A) to the signal is not received, the ECU () switches a CCID () provided in the power cable () or the external power supply device (A) to a state in which supply of the electric power is possible, and thereafter, retransmits the signal from the PLC communication unit () to the external power supply device (A).
