Abstract
A charging-port control device for an electric vehicle includes a charging port engaged with a charging connector, a locking mechanism configured to limit release of an engagement state between the charging connector and the charging port, and a lock state control unit configured to control the locking mechanism to a lock state or an unlock state. The lock state control unit includes a first mode for controlling the locking mechanism to the lock state only when a charge request is being outputted from a vehicle side and a third mode for maintaining a full-time unlock state.
