Patent ID: 8223004

Claim:
A control device for a vehicle having at least a motor as a drive source, said vehicle including a power storage device for supplying electric power to said motor, a charging connector for connection to an external power supply arranged outside said vehicle and used to charge said power storage device, a wheel, a braking device for receiving supply of hydraulic pressure and restricting rotation of said wheel, and a transmission for restricting movement of said vehicle when said vehicle shifts to a parking state and removing said restriction when said parking state is released, said control device comprising: a connection state detecting unit for detecting that said charging connector and said external power supply are being connected; a release detecting unit for detecting that the parking state of said vehicle has been released; and a control unit receiving outputs from said connection state detecting unit and said release detecting unit, said control unit increasing the hydraulic pressure supplied to said braking device such that a degree of restriction of rotation of said wheel increases after said parking state is released, when a control condition that said charging connector and said external power supply are being connected and said parking state has been released is satisfied.
