Patent number: 11964572Abstract: A vehicle includes a battery, an electric power acquirer, a power supply unit, and a controller. The electric power acquirer is able to acquire, from outside the vehicle, electric power to be charged to the battery. The power supply unit is able to receive electric power from a power line and supply a power supply voltage to a device other than a traveling motor. The controller is able to execute electric power adjustment processing on the condition that electric power is acquired from the electric power acquirer and the power supply unit is in operation. The electric power adjustment processing includes reducing a difference between electric power to be acquired from the electric power acquirer and electric power to be inputted to the power supply unit.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 2019Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Fumiyuki Moriya, Kazuya Fuke

Patent number: 11535118Abstract: A vehicle includes a battery, an electric power acquirer, a relay, a pre-charge relay, a power supply unit, and a controller. The controller performs a control of electric power transmission through a power line of the vehicle. The controller executes pre-charge processing on a request for operation of the power supply unit, with the relay being in a disconnected state, and with the electric power acquirer being available for electric power acquisition. The pre-charge processing includes raising a voltage of the power line by switching the pre-charge relay. The controller causes a transition of a mode of the electric power transmission to a direct transmission mode.
