An in-vehicle charging apparatus () has: a charge control ECU (), which operates with power supplied from a low-voltage battery (), and which controls charging; an Sswitch, which is on/off controlled by means of the charge control ECU (), and which reduces a voltage of the pulse signals when the switch is in the on-state; and a switch (SW), which is controlled to be in an on-state by means of units other than the charge control ECU (), and which reduces the voltage of the pulse signals when the switch is in the on-state. In the cases where the switch (SW) is turned on, power from a charging cable () is supplied to the low-voltage battery () or the charge control ECU ().
