Abstract: An electrically driven vehicle comprises a motor; a power storage device; a first power supply device connected with a power line; a charging device configured to charge the power storage device by using electric power from an external power source; and a second power supply device configured to supply part of the electric power from the external power source to auxiliary machinery via the charging device. The electrically driven vehicle performs a charging efficiency determination process that calculates a charging efficiency as a ratio of a charging power of the power storage device to an input power of the charging device, and that determines whether the charging efficiency is lower than a predetermined efficiency. When the charging efficiency determination process determines that the charging efficiency is lower than the predetermined efficiency, the electrically driven vehicle stops the second power supply device and performs the charging efficiency determination process again.

Abstract: An electrically driven vehicle comprises a motor, a power storage device, a charging device configured to charge the power storage device by using electric power from an external AC power supply, and a control device configured to control the motor and the charging device. When execution of a drive-ready process is required during a charging termination process that is performed on termination of charging of the power storage device by the charging device, the control device interrupts the charging termination process, performs the drive-ready process and resumes the charging termination process after completion of the drive-ready process. This configuration enables the drive-ready process to be completed promptly even in the case of a start request during the charging termination process.
