Abstract: A vehicle control apparatus includes a control processor including: a necessary-electric-power-amount calculator calculating a necessary electric power amount that is a sum of an electric power amount suppliable to a first battery and an electric power amount necessary to activate an in-vehicle device; an operation state determiner determining a state of operation of the in-vehicle device; and a switching processor controlling a switchover of a destination of external electric power between the first battery and a second battery. The control processor supplies the external electric power to the first battery, based on the necessary electric power amount, and when the in-vehicle device is switched from an operation state to a non-operation state while the first battery is being supplied with the external electric power, supplies an electric power amount equal to the electric power amount necessary to activate the in-vehicle device, from the external electric power to the second battery.
