Claim 0:
1. A vehicle comprising a power storage device, a discharging port, a power conversion circuit, and a controller, wherein
the power conversion circuit is configured to receive DC power supplied from the power storage device and output the DC power to the discharging port side,
the discharging port includes a first output terminal, a second output terminal and a ground terminal,
each of the first output terminal and the second output terminal is not grounded to a body of the vehicle,
the controller is configured to obtain a requested voltage value of a discharging connector connected to the discharging port,
when the discharging connector is connected to the discharging port, the controller controls the power conversion circuit such that a voltage corresponding to the requested voltage value of the discharging connector is applied between the first output terminal and the second output terminal,
the vehicle further includes a switch that switches a conduction state and an insulated state between the ground terminal and the body of the vehicle,
the discharging port includes a detection terminal that outputs, to the controller, a potential signal indicating information about a discharging assembly including the discharging connector connected to the discharging port,
in a state where the discharging connector is connected to the discharging port, a closed circuit is formed such that the detection terminal and the ground terminal are connected to each other with the discharging connector interposed therebetween,
the controller is configured to, when the switch is in the conduction state, obtain the requested voltage value of the discharging connector of the discharging assembly and a type of an electrical outlet of the discharging assembly, based on the potential signal from the detection terminal, and
the type of the electrical outlet includes a first electrical outlet that outputs an AC voltage to be applied between the first output terminal and the second output terminal, a second electrical outlet that outputs an AC voltage to be applied between the first output terminal and the ground terminal, and a third electrical outlet that outputs an AC voltage to be applied between the second output terminal and the ground terminal.
