Abstract: A charging system includes a battery that is chargeable using an external power source, a heater raising the battery temperature, and a control device. The control device acquires the actual temperature of the battery and the output electric power of the external power source, sets a target temperature of the battery based on the output electric power, and drives the heater when the actual temperature is lower than the target temperature during charging of the battery using the external power source. The control device further compares the present value of the output electric power with the previous value of the output electric power during charging of the battery using an external power source, updates the target temperature based on the present value when the present value exceeds the previous value, and maintains the target temperature at the currently-standing value when the present value does not exceed the previous value.

Abstract: When a vehicle accelerates due to an upshifting of a transmission, a recirculation valve is opened and ignition period is retarded so that the torque generated in an internal combustion engine decreases. When upshifting of the transmission of the vehicle is completed, retarding of the ignition period is ended and the recirculation valve is closed at different timings. As a result, the amount of torque recovery at the end of the upshifting of the transmission of the vehicle can be prevented from increasing more than expected, and the acceleration rate after the shift can be reduced.
