Abstract: When DC charging is completed, an ECU of a vehicle performs first diagnosis processing for diagnosing whether or not charge relays have stuck with an SMR being closed. In the first diagnosis processing, whether or not the charge relays have stuck is diagnosed based on an open/close command to the charge relays and a voltage applied to a charge port. When both of the charge relays are determined as having stuck in the first diagnosis processing, the ECU performs second diagnosis processing on the assumption that a DC power feed facility falls under a specific DC power feed facility. In the second diagnosis processing, whether or not the charge relays have stuck is diagnosed based on the open/close command to the charge relays, the voltage applied to the charge port (a first voltage), and a voltage (a second voltage) between a first power line and a second power line.

Abstract: An ECU of a vehicle performs processing for diagnosing sticking of a charge relay with an SMR being open. The sticking diagnosis processing is performed while electric power is being supplied from a DC power feed facility to the vehicle. The sticking diagnosis processing includes both-element sticking diagnosis processing and one-element sticking diagnosis processing. The ECU performs both-element sticking diagnosis processing by outputting an output command to the DC power feed facility. When it is determined that both of the charge relays have not stuck in the both-element sticking diagnosis processing, the ECU performs one-element sticking diagnosis processing and diagnoses whether or not sticking has occurred in each of the charge relays.

Abstract: A vehicle performs external charging in which a battery mounted on the vehicle is charged with power supplied from a charger provided external to the vehicle in accordance with a prescribed charging standard. The vehicle includes: a short-distance communication module and a navigation screen that provide a user of the vehicle with information on the external charging; and an ECU that controls the short-distance communication module and the navigation screen. The ECU controls the short-distance communication module and the navigation screen, when failure to perform the external charging in accordance with the charging standard is caused by the charger, to provide the user with at least one of information that the failure is caused by the charger and information that it is recommended to use another charger other than the charger.

Abstract: A vehicle control device is configured to perform timer charging, using preset start time and end time. The vehicle control device starts the timer charging of a battery mounted in a vehicle upon arrival of the start time, and ends the timer charging upon arrival of the end time. During the timer charging, power is supplied to the vehicle from a power supply device outside the vehicle through a charging cable. The vehicle control device is configured to: suspend the timer charging when the charging cable is disconnected during the timer charging; resume the suspended timer charging when predetermined resume conditions are met, the predetermined resume conditions including a condition in which the charging cable is reconnected after the timer charging is suspended and before the end time; and end) the suspended timer charging without waiting for the end time when the resume conditions are not met.

Abstract: The notification system is applicable to a wireless power transfer system configured to transmit power in a wireless manner from a power transmission coil of a power transmission device provided in a parking space to a power reception coil mounted on a vehicle. The notification system includes a display device and a control device. When the distance between the power transmission device and the vehicle is less than a predetermined distance, a wireless communication is established between the power transmission device and the vehicle. After the wireless communication is established between the power transmission device and the vehicle, the control device performs a foreign object detection process to detect whether or not a foreign object is present above the power transmission coil. If a foreign object is detected by the foreign object detection process, the control device displays a foreign object detection image on a screen of the display device.

Abstract: The power reception device includes a power reception unit configured to receive power from a power transmission unit, a power storage device, a charging relay provided between the power reception unit and the power storage device, and a controller. The controller executes a first fail-safe control when a malfunction is detected during external charging in which the charging relay is switched to the ON state. In the first fail-safe control, an output power of the power transmission unit is reduced lower than a target value with the charging relay being maintained at the ON state, the output power is restored to the target value if the malfunction is solved before a standby time has passed, and the charging relay is switched to the OFF state so as to stop the external charging if the malfunction is not solved after the standby time has passed.

Abstract: The power transfer system includes a power transmission device and a power reception device disposed in the vehicle. The power transmission device includes a power transmission coil configured to transmit power in a wireless manner to the power reception device, an inverter configured to generate an AC transmission power and supply it to the power transmission coil, and a power supply ECU. When the transmission of power to the power reception device is started, the power supply ECU sets the transmission power at the start o power transmission to a first power which is lower than a second power, and performs the operating point search control in that state. If the reception power is lower than a tai et reception power after the operating point search control is completed, the power supply ECU sets the transmission power to the second power which is higher than the first power.

Abstract: A fuel remaining amount is recognized by a control device by a discrete numerical value. In a period that continues until execution of only the electric power supply in which the engine is stopped after the electric power supply is initiated (time is to t1), that is, in a period when no SOC recovery history is generated, the control device calculates an electric power supply possible time Tsp with a sum of an electric power generation possible time Tgs based on a fuel remaining amount detection value FLV# and a discharging possible time Tel based on the SOC. In a period subsequent to the generation of the SOC recovery history attributable to starting of the engine (after time t0), the electric power supply possible time Tsp is calculated in accordance with the electric power generation possible time Tgs without the SOC being reflected.
