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: A feeding connector that connects a vehicle with an external power receiving device when electric power is fed from the vehicle to the power receiving device is allowed to be fitted to a connecting portion to which a charging connector that connects the vehicle with an external feeding device is fitted when an electric storage device installed on the vehicle is charged with electric power from the feeding device, and, when the feeding connector is in a particular condition of fit with the connecting portion, an impedance of a particular signal path provided in the feeding connector falls within an impedance range for feeding which is set as a range of impedance different from an impedance range for charging which is set as a range of impedance of a signal path provided in the charging connector and corresponding to the particular signal path. A method for identifying the feeding connector, a system for identifying the feeding connector, and a feeding system using the feeding connector are also provided.

Abstract: An operating mode of a charging/supplying system in which a vehicle is connected with a first external device or a second external device via a connecting portion used in common in a charging mode in which an electric storage device installed on the vehicle is charged with electric power from the first external device and a supplying mode in which electric power is supplied from the vehicle to the second external device, and which is operable in a selected one of the charging mode and the supplying mode, is identified. More specifically, a plurality of detection values are detected from at least one electric connection channel provided between the vehicle and the first external device or the second external device via the connecting portion, and it is determined whether the operating mode of the charging/supplying system is the charging mode or the supplying mode, based on a combination of the plurality of detection values.
