Patent ID: 8847544

Claim:
A power supply device for an electric powered vehicle, comprising: a power storage device for storing electric power input/output with respect to an electric motor generating vehicle driving power, a power line connected to an external power supply during external charging, a power converter for executing bidirectional power conversion between AC power of said power line and DC power input to and output from said power storage device, an outlet electrically connected to said power line, and a control device for controlling DC power input to and output from said power storage device by said power converter, said control device configured to execute temperature-rise control, in an event of a temperature of said power storage device being lower than a predetermined temperature when said external power supply is connected to said power line, and said electric load is connected to said outlet, alternately causing a first state where electric power output to said power line from said power converter is controlled such that power consumption of said electric load is ensured in association with discharging of said power storage device, and a second state where electric power input to said power storage device from said power converter is controlled such that power consumption of said electric load is ensured in association with charging of said power storage device.
