Patent ID: 8818603

Claim:
A vehicle comprising: a first electric storage device that supplies an electric power to an electric rotating machine that is a drive source; a second electric storage device that supplies an electric power to an electric component different from the electric rotating machine and has a lower voltage than the first electric storage device; a converter that adjusts a voltage of the electric power supplied from the first electric storage device and supplies the voltage-adjusted electric power at least to the second electric storage device; and a control unit that controls the converter such that the voltage of the electric power supplied from the first electric storage device to the second electric storage device becomes equal to a target voltage, wherein the control unit sets the target voltage to a first voltage if a system stop period from a last stop time point when a system of the vehicle is stopped to an activation time point when the system of the vehicle is activated is longer than a first period, and sets the target voltage to a second voltage, which is lower than the first voltage, if the system stop period is equal to or shorter than the first period.
