Patent ID: 8818598

Claim:
A vehicle control device mounted on a vehicle including a rotating electric machine serving as a drive source, a power storage device for supplying electric power to said rotating electric machine, and a charging device for charging said power storage device through use of an external power supply, comprising: an electronic detection unit configured to detect a real voltage of said power storage device; and an electronic control unit configured to execute a first charging control for charging said power storage device at an upper limit value of charging electric power through use of said external power supply when said external power supply and said charging device are connected, said control unit comparing said real voltage detected by said detection unit during execution of said first charging control and a first threshold value which is an open circuit voltage of said power storage device when a charged state of said power storage device is a target charged state, and terminating said first charging control when said real voltage is more than or equal to said first threshold value, said control unit executing second charging control for charging said power storage device setting charging electric power to be constant after said first charging control is terminated, and terminating said second charging control when said real voltage detected by said detection unit during execution of said second charging control is more than or equal to a second threshold value, said second threshold value being a real voltage during execution of said second charging control corresponding to a case where the charged state of said power storage device is a fully charged state, and being a value larger than said first threshold value.
