US Patent Application Publication No. 2012/0101659 (hereinafter referred to as “US 2012/0101659 A1”) discloses a technique for charging a battery of an automobile and controlling an air conditioner (summary).

More specifically, in US 2012/0101659 A1, when the charging plug is inserted into the vehicle at the charging station, charging of the battery is started ([0042], step 310 in FIG. 3). Further, when a remote control signal for adjusting the temperature of the vehicle is received from the remote control server 200 or the temperature adjustment is reserved before the battery is fully charged, the charging current is determined according to the charging state and the amount of charging current of the battery. The air conditioner is operated using a part of [(0028]).

That is, if the battery has already been fully charged, all the charging current supplied through the charging plug is supplied to the temperature control unit 120. However, when the battery is not yet fully charged, a part of the charging current is supplied to the temperature adjustment unit 120. At this time, the ratio of the amount of current supplied to the temperature adjustment unit 120 in the total amount of charging current can be adjusted according to the SOC state (SOC: State of Charge) of the battery. For example, the amount of current for battery charging can be gradually decreased and the amount of current supplied to the temperature adjustment unit 120 can be gradually increased as the rate of battery charging is higher ([0052]).

As described above, in US 2012/0101659 と A1, when the charging plug is inserted into the vehicle at the charging station, charging of the battery is started ([0042], step 310 in FIG. 3), and the operation of the air conditioner is performed by the remote control server. A remote control signal is received from 200 or controlled based on a reservation. The battery is charged and the air conditioner is operated in parallel.

According to these things, in US 2012/0101659 A1, the amount of charge of the battery is reduced by the amount consumed by the air conditioner, and the end of charging is delayed. In addition, if the end of charging is delayed, as a result, there is a possibility that the power is not supplied to the air conditioner by the amount used for charging, and the output of the air conditioner may not satisfy the user's request.

The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and provides a vehicle capable of balancing the charging of the power storage device and the air adjustment in the vehicle while reducing the charging time of the power storage device. For the purpose.

A vehicle according to the present invention includes a power storage device that is charged by an external power source, and an air conditioner that receives power supply from the external power source and is capable of setting a reservation of operation timing.

Further, when the reserved operation timing has arrived or when the operation timing has arrived, if the remaining capacity of the power storage device exceeds the threshold value, the power storage device is not charged from the external power source and the air conditioner Do not operate. Further, the threshold value is variable.

For this reason, even before the power storage device is fully charged, it is possible to finish charging the battery and operate the air conditioner according to the threshold value. Therefore, charging of the power storage device and air adjustment in the vehicle can be performed with a good balance.

The vehicle includes an air conditioning control unit that controls the air conditioner, a temperature sensor that detects a vehicle interior temperature, and a scheduled departure time input unit that inputs a scheduled departure time for leaving the vehicle.

A power supply control unit that controls supply, wherein the power supply control unit determines whether the charging end timing and the operation timing of the air conditioner are compatible, and determines that they are compatible After the power storage device is fully charged or the remaining capacity is set as the threshold, power is supplied to the air conditioner until it is determined that the remaining capacity is not compatible, until the remaining capacity exceeds the threshold After charging the power storage device from the external power source and the remaining capacity exceeds the threshold value, the air conditioner is connected from the external power source. It may be carried out of the power supply.

Thus, only when the charging of the power storage device cannot be completed before operating the air conditioner, the control considering the balance between the charging of the power storage device and the operation of the air conditioner is performed. Therefore, it is possible to more suitably charge the power storage device.

When the reserved operation timing has arrived or when the operation timing has arrived, even if the remaining capacity of the power storage device is below the threshold, the air conditioner is more than charged from the external power source to the power storage device. You may have an air conditioner priority mode setting part which sets the air conditioner priority mode which gives priority to the action | operation of a conditioner. Thereby, depending on the situation, it is possible to prioritize the operation of the air conditioner over the charging of the power storage device. Therefore, it is possible to execute the operation while further considering the balance between the charging of the power storage device and the operation of the air conditioner.

When reserving the operation of the air conditioner 32 using the mobile communication terminal 18, first, an operation (air conditioner setting start operation) for starting the air conditioner reservation setting routine is performed by the operation unit 112. As a result, the air conditioner setting screen 140 is displayed on the display unit 116.

As shown in FIG. 4, the air conditioner setting screen 140 of this embodiment includes a weekday check box 150 (hereinafter also referred to as “check box 150”) and a weekday scheduled departure time input field 152 (hereinafter “input field 152”). ), Holiday check box 154 (hereinafter also referred to as “check box 154”), holiday departure scheduled time input field 156 (hereinafter also referred to as “input field 156”), and charging priority threshold switching permission / inhibition A setting field 158 (hereinafter also referred to as “setting field 158”), a charging priority threshold value input field 160 (hereinafter also referred to as “input field 160”), and a confirmation button 162 are included.

The check box 150 is an input field for turning on / off the weekday reservation setting (in other words, inputting whether or not to perform the air conditioning reservation operation on weekdays). When the check box 150 is checked, an operation reservation is made on weekdays. When there is no check, an operation reservation is not made on weekdays.

The input column 152 is a column for inputting a scheduled sunrise departure time (for example, scheduled departure time for commuting to or from school) as an operation timing. In the present embodiment, the air conditioner 32 is operated for 30 minutes before the input scheduled departure time. Therefore, the scheduled departure time substantially means an operation start time and an operation end time of the air conditioner 32.

The check box 154 is an input field for turning on / off the holiday reservation setting (in other words, inputting whether or not the holiday air conditioning reservation operation is performed). When the check box 154 is checked, a holiday operation reservation is made, and when there is no check, a holiday operation reservation is not made.

The input column 156 is a column for inputting a scheduled departure time of a holiday (for example, a scheduled departure time for shopping or travel) as an operation timing. In the present embodiment, the air conditioner 32 is operated for 30 minutes before the input scheduled departure time.

The setting column 158 is a column for setting whether or not to switch the charging priority threshold THsoc (hereinafter also referred to as “threshold THsoc”) to a value other than 100% corresponding to full charging. In the setting field 158, it is possible to select “ON” that permits switching of the threshold value THsoc to a value other than 100% and “OFF” that prohibits switching of the threshold value THsoc to a value other than 100%.

The charge priority threshold THsoc determines whether or not to operate the air conditioner 32 in order to prioritize charging of the battery 30 (in other words, whether or not to supply power from the external charging device 14 to the air conditioner 32). ) For determining the SOC.

The input column 160 is a column for inputting a specific numerical value of the charging priority threshold THsoc. As described above, the threshold value THsoc can be changed only when “ON” is selected in the setting field 158. When “OFF” is selected, the threshold value THsoc can be changed. Can not. Further, the threshold value THsoc can be selected in the range of the lowest value (for example, 50%) to 100%.

In the present embodiment, the user inputs the threshold value THsoc. However, when the necessary power amount can be calculated from various data, the ECU 114 of the mobile communication terminal 18 may automatically calculate the threshold value THsoc. For example, when the vehicle 12 is used for commuting, the required power amount on each weekday is considered to be substantially equal. Therefore, it is possible to calculate the power consumption (average value) of each day on each weekday, and to calculate a value obtained by adding an error to the calculated value as the required power amount. Alternatively, when a destination is input to the navigation device 38, a one-way distance or a round-trip distance from the current position of the vehicle 12 (a charging position) to the destination is calculated, and the one-way distance or the round-trip distance travels. May be calculated as a required power amount by calculating an amount of power consumption required for the above and adding an error to the calculated value.

Alternatively, one or a plurality of values that are candidates for the threshold THsoc are displayed on the screen 140 after performing the automatic calculation as described above, and the user can select and decide.

The confirmation button 162 is a button for confirming the changed setting.

When canceling or changing the operation reservation, after performing the air conditioner setting start operation, an operation for canceling or changing the operation reservation is performed on the air conditioner setting screen 140.

The case where the operation of the air conditioner 32 is reserved using the steering switch 34 can be the same as that of the portable communication terminal 18. The mobile communication terminal 18 and the steering switch 34 in this embodiment function as a scheduled departure time input unit that inputs a scheduled departure time.

[2-4. Coordination control during stopping of charging of battery 30 and operation of air conditioner 32]
Next, a description will be given of control (coordination control at the time of stopping) in the case where a command for charging the battery 30 and a command for operating the air conditioner 32 compete when the vehicle 12 is stopped. As described above, in the present embodiment, the charging of the battery 30 is prioritized over the operation of the air conditioner 32.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart for executing stop-time cooperative control related to the charging of the battery 30 and the operation of the air conditioner 32. In step S <b> 1, the meter ECU 46 (power supply control unit) of the vehicle 12 determines whether or not to start coordinated control at the time of stopping. When the vehicle 12 is stopped, the coordinated control at the time of stopping is the required charging timing of the battery 30 (for example, between the charging start time and the charging end time) and the required operation timing of the air conditioner 32 ( For example, the control is performed when the scheduled departure time 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time overlaps. For example, when the vehicle 12 is stopped, the determination of whether or not to start the cooperative control at the time of stopping is made by overlapping the charging timing by the above-described immediate charging or reservation charging and the operation timing by the immediate air conditioning operation or the reservation air conditioning operation. Judgment is based on whether or not.

If the cooperative control at the time of stopping is not started (S1: NO), the current process is finished. When the stop-time cooperative control is started (S1: YES), in step S2, the meter ECU 46 reads the vehicle state. The vehicle state to be read out includes information on the SOC of the battery 30, the cabin temperature, whether charging is being performed, and whether the air conditioner 32 is operating.

In step S3, the meter ECU 46 determines whether or not the charging cable 62 is being connected to the charging port 66. This determination is performed by inquiring of the battery ECU 36, for example. The battery ECU 36 acquires information on whether or not the charging cable 62 is being connected from the charging port 66.

When the charging cable 62 is being connected (S3: YES), in step S4, the meter ECU 46 reads the charging priority threshold THsoc from the storage unit (not shown) of the meter ECU 46. As described above, the charging priority threshold THsoc can be set by operating the mobile communication terminal 18 or the steering switch 34.

In step S5, the meter ECU 46 determines whether or not the SOC read in step S2 exceeds the charge priority threshold THsoc. When the SOC does not exceed the threshold value THsoc (S5: NO), the meter ECU 46 causes the battery 30 to be charged in step S6. At this time, the air conditioner 32 is not operated. Specifically, the meter ECU 46 gives priority to charging the battery 30 by turning on the first switch 82 and turning off the second switch 84. At this time, since charging the battery 30 is prioritized, the fact that the operation of the air conditioner 32 is restricted may be displayed on the display unit of the meter 44 or the display unit 116 of the mobile communication terminal 18. .

On the other hand, when the SOC exceeds the threshold value THsoc (S5: YES), in step S7, the meter ECU 46 turns off the first switch 82 and turns on the second switch 84, thereby operating the air conditioner 32. Allow. If the operation timing of the air conditioner 32 has come at the time of step S7, the meter ECU 46 requests the air conditioner 32 to operate the air conditioner 32 and actually operates the air conditioner 32. The air conditioner 32 operates according to the settings (set temperature, air volume, etc.) of the air conditioner 32 when the vehicle 12 is stopped. Alternatively, when the setting of the air conditioner 32 is changed after the vehicle 12 is stopped, the operation is performed with the changed setting. The setting change can be performed by the operation unit of the air conditioner 32, for example. Alternatively, the setting change may be performed by executing software for setting change in the mobile communication terminal 18 and instructing the meter ECU 46 from the mobile communication terminal 18 via the server 20.

If the operation timing of the air conditioner 32 has not come at the time of step S7, the meter ECU 46 does not request the air conditioner 32 to operate the air conditioner 32, and the air conditioner 32 does not operate.

After step S6 or S7, in step S8, the meter ECU 46 determines whether or not the stop-time cooperative control is terminated. Specifically, when the vehicle 12 is stopped, the requested charging timing of the battery 30 (for example, between the charging start time and the charging end time) and the requested operation timing of the air conditioner 32 (for example, Judgment is made based on whether or not duplication of scheduled departure time 30 minutes before the scheduled departure time has been resolved.

Returning to step S3, when the charging cable 62 is not connected (S3: NO), the meter ECU 46 displays an error message for requesting connection of the charging cable 62 in step S9.

3. As described above, according to the present embodiment, when the operation of the air conditioner 32 is requested or when the operation is requested, the SOC of the battery 30 is lower than the charge priority threshold THsoc. If so (S5 in FIG. 5: NO), the battery 30 is charged without operating the air conditioner 32 (S6). Therefore, the battery 30 can be quickly charged.

Further, when the operation of the air conditioner 32 is requested or when the operation is requested, if the SOC of the battery 30 exceeds the charge priority threshold THsoc (S5: YES), the battery 30 is transferred from the external charging device 14 to the battery 30. The air conditioner 32 is operated without charging the battery. In other words, the air conditioner 32 can be operated as requested by the user. Therefore, it is possible to improve the user satisfaction regarding the operation of the air conditioner 32.

Therefore, as a whole, charging of the battery 30 and air conditioning in the vehicle can be performed in a well-balanced manner.

In the present embodiment, the charge priority threshold THsoc is variable (see FIG. 4). For this reason, even before the battery 30 is fully charged, the air conditioner 32 can be operated according to the charge priority threshold THsoc. Therefore, charging of the battery 30 and air conditioning in the vehicle can be performed with a good balance.

B. Modifications It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it is needless to say that various configurations can be adopted based on the contents described in this specification. For example, the following configuration can be adopted.

1. Power supply system 10
In the above embodiment, the power supply system 10 is for a vehicle. However, from the viewpoint of a battery 30 (power storage device) to which power is supplied from an external charging device 14 (external power source) and a moving body including an air conditioner 32. Then, the system 10 can be used for a mobile body other than the vehicle 12 (for example, a train, a ship, an aircraft, etc.).

In the above embodiment, the power supply system 10 includes the vehicle 12, the external charging device 14, the remote controller 16, the mobile communication terminal 18, and the server 20, but the battery 30 using the power from the external charging device 14 is used. If attention is paid to the charging timing and the operation timing of the air conditioner 32, the configuration of the system 10 is not limited to this. For example, the system 10 may include only the vehicle 12 and the external charging device 14.

Alternatively, in a moving body such as the vehicle 12, charging of a power storage device such as the battery 30 and power supply to components other than the power storage device mounted on the mobile body by power from an external power source such as the external charging device 14. From the viewpoint of performing, the component that receives power supply from the external power source is not limited to the air conditioner 32. For example, instead of or in addition to the air conditioner 32, external charging is performed on the audio device, the navigation device 38, the lighting device (headlight, etc.) of the vehicle 12, the warm-up device (heater, etc.) of the battery 30, etc. Electric power may be supplied from the device 14. Alternatively, when the vehicle 12 is a fuel cell vehicle, electric power may be supplied from the external charging device 14 to a warm-up device (such as a heater) of the fuel cell and the power storage device. Then, priority can be given to the charging of the power storage device over the power supply to components other than the power storage device, or vice versa.

2. Vehicle 12
In the above-described embodiment, the vehicle 12 has only a travel motor (not shown) as a drive source and is an electric vehicle in a narrow sense that supplies electric power to the travel motor only from the battery 30, but the battery 30 (power storage device) As long as the vehicle can be charged from the outside, it may be an electric vehicle (for example, a plug-in hybrid vehicle, a fuel cell vehicle) other than an electric vehicle in a narrow sense. In addition, when the power storage device to be charged is not for supplying power to the travel motor (for example, when charging a battery for an auxiliary machine), the vehicle 12 may not be an electric vehicle.

In the above embodiment, the vehicle 12 is assumed to be a four-wheeled vehicle (see FIG. 1). However, the battery 30 (power storage device) and the air conditioner 32 to which power is supplied from the external charging device 14 (external power source) are provided. From a viewpoint of a vehicle provided with a component, it may be other than a four-wheeled vehicle. For example, the vehicle 12 may be a vehicle such as a motorcycle, an automatic tricycle, or a six-wheeled vehicle.

3. External charging device 14
In the above embodiment, the external charging device 14 as an external power source is assumed to be a fixed type and a cable type (see FIG. 1), but from the viewpoint of supplying electric power to the battery 30 and the air conditioner 32 from the outside. For example, the external charging device 14 may be a movable type or a wireless power feeding type. In addition, as a case where the external charging device 14 is movable, a case where an external power source is mounted on a vehicle for power supply can be considered.

4). Remote controller 16
In the above embodiment, the remote controller 16 has been described as being positioned as a dedicated device for controlling the charging of the battery 30 and the operation of the air conditioner 32. However, from the viewpoint of executing these controls, It may have a function. For example, an electronic key or smart key that locks and unlocks the door lock may have the function of the remote controller 16.

5. Battery 30
In the above embodiment, the battery 30 supplies power to the travel motor (not shown) of the vehicle 12. However, the battery 30 supplies power from the external power source (external charging device 14) together with the air conditioner 32. Therefore, the power storage device may be used for other purposes (for example, for supplying power to the auxiliary machine).

6). Air conditioning 32
In the above embodiment, the set temperature and the air volume are given as the output setting (air conditioning condition) of the air conditioner 32. However, from the viewpoint of the air conditioning condition, it is not limited thereto. For example, only the set temperature may be set as the air conditioning condition, or the humidity may be set in addition to the set temperature and the air volume.

7). Power adjustment unit 80
In the above-described embodiment, the power adjustment unit 80 includes the first switch 82 and the second switch 84, and enables only one of charging the battery 30 and operating the air conditioner 32. However, from the viewpoint of distributing power from the external charging device 14, the power adjustment unit 80 performs both charging of the battery 30 and operation of the air conditioner 32 at the same time as in US 2012/0101659 A1. You may comprise.

8). Vehicle state table 130
In the above embodiment, the vehicle state stored in the vehicle state table 130 is updated (overwritten). However, in addition to the latest vehicle state, past vehicle states may be accumulated.

9. Setting means for charging the battery 30 and operating the air conditioner 32 In the above embodiment, the steering switch is used as a setting means for setting the charging of the battery 30 and the operation of the air conditioner 32 among the components mounted on the vehicle 12. 34 is used, but it is not limited to this in terms of performing the setting. For example, input means such as a touch panel (not shown) of the navigation device 38 may be used instead of or in addition to the steering switch 34.

In the above embodiment, the command from the mobile communication terminal 18 is transmitted to the vehicle 12 via the server 20. In other words, the component that directly performs the setting related to the charging of the battery 30 and the operation of the air conditioner 32 from the outside of the vehicle 12 is the server 20. However, from the viewpoint of changing the setting from the outside of the vehicle 12, it is also possible to directly transmit a command from the mobile communication terminal 18 to the vehicle 12 without going through the server 20 (through a specific communication line). In this case, the changed reservation setting may be transmitted from the vehicle 12 to the server 20, and the reservation setting of the server 20 may be updated.

10. Reservation setting [10-1. Reservation setting for charging battery 30 (battery reservation operation)]
In the above embodiment, reservation charging on / off, charging start time, and charging end time are used as the reservation setting for charging (see FIG. 4), but this is not limited from the viewpoint of reserving charging timing. For example, in addition to turning on / off reservation charging, only one of charging start time or charging end time may be used. When only the charging start time is input, the charging is continued until the battery 30 is fully charged or reaches the charging priority threshold THsoc.

Further, when inputting the charging end time, for example, after receiving the notification of the charging end time from the meter ECU 46, the battery ECU 36 determines the SOC of the battery 30 at the time of full charge or the threshold THsoc (fixed value or deterioration). The charging start time may be calculated based on the variable output according to the degree), the possible output of the external charging device 14, and the like.

When the user inputs the charging end time, or when the charging end time is predicted and calculated by the calculating means such as the battery ECU 36, the calculating means determines whether the charging timing and the operation timing of the air conditioner 32 are compatible. It may be determined (whether the charging timing and the operation timing do not overlap), and the charging start time may be advanced according to the determination result.

When it is determined that compatibility is possible, after the battery 30 is fully charged or after the SOC of the battery 30 is set to the charge priority threshold THsoc, power is supplied to the air conditioner 32 and it is determined that compatibility is not possible The battery 30 is charged from the external charging device 14 until the SOC exceeds the threshold value THsoc, and after the SOC exceeds the threshold value THsoc, the power supply from the external charging device 14 to the air conditioner 32 can be performed.

Thereby, only when the charging of the battery 30 cannot be completed before the air conditioner 32 is operated, the charging of the battery 30 and the operation of the air conditioner 32 are limited. Therefore, it is possible to charge the battery 30 and operate the air conditioner 32 more suitably.

[10-2. Air-conditioner 32 reservation setting (air-conditioner reservation operation)]
In the above embodiment, the content that can be input by the mobile communication terminal 18 is as shown in FIG. 4, but is not limited thereto as described in detail below.

For example, in the above embodiment, the scheduled departure time is input separately for weekdays and holidays, but this is not a limitation from the viewpoint of setting the operating time of the air conditioner 32. For example, it is possible not to divide weekdays and holidays, set for each day of the week, or set for each day. Alternatively, instead of or in addition to the scheduled departure time, the operating time of the air conditioner 32 (for example, “from what hour to what hour”, “from what hour to what minute” or “scheduled departure time”) It is also possible to set “acting for several minutes before”.

In the above embodiment, output settings (air conditioning conditions) such as the set temperature and air volume of the air conditioner 32 could not be input on the air conditioner setting screen 140 of FIG. 4, but these may be input. These input settings may be set separately from the initial setting of the air conditioner 32 (setting when the vehicle 12 is stopped or setting used last in the vehicle 12), or the initial setting The setting may be updated.

In the above embodiment, when the SOC of the battery 30 is lower than the charging priority threshold THsoc, only charging of the battery 30 is performed. When the SOC exceeds the charging priority threshold THsoc, charging of the battery 30 is stopped and the air conditioner is turned off. Electric power was supplied to the shower 32 (see S5 to S7 in FIG. 5). However, from the viewpoint of not operating the air conditioner 32 when the SOC is lower than the threshold value THsoc, both charging of the battery 30 and the operation of the air conditioner 32 may be performed when the SOC is higher than the threshold value THsoc. Is possible. In this case, if the SOC exceeds the threshold value THsoc, the air conditioner 32 is operated according to the setting by the user (that is, the setting in the operating means of the air conditioner 32 or the setting input by the mobile communication terminal 18). At the same time, it is possible to apply the power obtained by subtracting the power consumption of the air conditioner 32 from the power supplied from the external charging device 14 to charge the battery 30.

In addition, when the SOC is lower than the threshold THsoc, charging is prioritized over the air conditioner 32, and when the SOC is higher than the threshold THsoc, from the viewpoint that the operation of the air conditioner 32 is prioritized over charging, the SOC is the threshold value. It is possible to perform both the charging of the battery 30 and the operation of the air conditioner 32 both in the case where it falls below and above the THsoc. In this case, if the SOC is lower than the threshold THsoc, the air conditioner 32 charges the battery 30 in a state where the output is lower than the setting by the user (for example, the minimum output or the output reduced by a predetermined rate). I do. If the SOC exceeds the threshold THsoc, the air conditioner 32 is operated according to the setting by the user (with an output as requested by the user), and the consumption of the air conditioner 32 from the power supplied from the external charging device 14 is performed. It is also possible to apply the electric power minus the electric power to charge the battery 30. In these cases as well, charging of the battery 30 and the operation of the air conditioner 32 can be performed in a well-balanced manner by using the charging priority threshold THsoc that can be set by the user.

In the above embodiment, it is possible to input the charging priority threshold THsoc for determining whether or not to prioritize charging the battery 30 without operating the air conditioner 32. In other words, the threshold THsoc is variable. However, if the SOC is lower than the threshold THsoc, the output of the air conditioner 32 is limited. If the SOC is higher than the threshold THsoc, the threshold THsoc is a fixed value from the viewpoint of making the output of the air conditioner 32 as requested by the user. (For example, a value indicating full charge) may be used.

FIG. 6 is a flowchart for executing a modified example of the cooperative control at the time of stopping related to the charging of the battery 30 and the operation of the air conditioner 32. The flowchart of FIG. 6 shows a rough flow compared to FIG.

In step S11, the meter ECU 46 of the vehicle 12 determines whether or not to start the cooperative control at the time of stopping. This determination is the same as S1 in FIG. When the stop-time cooperative control is not started (S11: NO), the current process is finished. When the stop-time cooperative control is started (S11: YES), the process proceeds to step S12.

In step S12, the meter ECU 46 determines whether or not the charging of the battery 30 and the operation of the air conditioner 32 are compatible. If both are possible (S12: YES), the battery 30 is charged in step S13. That is, the meter ECU 46 turns on the first switch 82, turns off the second switch 84, and instructs the battery ECU 36 to charge the battery 30. The battery ECU 36 that has received the command executes charging of the battery 30.

When the charging of the battery 30 is completed (that is, when the battery 30 is fully charged or the SOC exceeds the threshold value THsoc), the operation of the air conditioner 32 is executed in step S14. That is, the meter ECU 46 turns off the first switch 82, turns on the second switch 84, and commands the air conditioner 32 to operate the air conditioner 32. The air conditioner ECU 40 that has received the command executes the operation of the air conditioner 32.

Returning to step S12, if the charging of the battery 30 and the operation of the air conditioner 32 are not compatible (S12: NO), the meter ECU 46 gives priority to the charging of the battery 30 and the operation of the air conditioner 32 in step S15. The degree is confirmed using the charging priority threshold THsoc, and in step S16, the meter ECU 46 executes charging of the battery 30 and operation of the air conditioner 32 according to the priority.

Specifically, the meter ECU 46 prioritizes charging over the operation of the air conditioner 32 if the SOC of the battery 30 is below the threshold value THsoc. For example, the battery 30 is charged while stopping or restricting the operation of the air conditioner 32. If the SOC of battery 30 exceeds threshold value THsoc, the operation of air conditioner 32 is prioritized over charging. For example, the air conditioner 32 is operated while charging is stopped or limited. The threshold THsoc here is set by the user, but can also be a fixed value as described above.

In the above embodiment, when the SOC of the battery 30 is lower than the threshold value THsoc, the air conditioner 32 is not operated and the charging to the battery 30 is prioritized. However, in consideration of the case where the user requests the operation of the air conditioner 32, priority is given to the operation of the air conditioner 32 over the charging of the battery 30 even when the SOC of the battery 30 is lower than the threshold value THsoc. You may set the air-conditioner priority mode. The setting of the air conditioner priority mode can be performed using, for example, the steering switch 34, the remote controller 16, the portable communication terminal 18, or the like as the air conditioner priority mode setting unit.

This makes it possible to prioritize the operation of the air conditioner 32 over the charging of the battery 30 depending on the situation. Therefore, it is possible to execute the charging of the battery 30 and the operation of the air conditioner 32 in consideration of the balance.
