First Claim
Patent Images
1. A vehicle, comprising:
- a power storage device;
a motor driven by electric power stored in said power storage device;
a coupling unit for electrically coupling said power storage device to an external power supply; and
a control unit for operating an electrical component and performing failure diagnosis of said electrical component in a case where the vehicle and said external power supply can be electrically coupled by operating said coupling unit.

Abstract
A vehicle (100) includes: a battery (B1, B2); a motor generator (MG2) driven by electric power stored in the battery (B1); a coupling unit (41) for electrically coupling the battery (B1, B2) to an external commercial power supply (55); and a controller (60) for operating an electrical component (43) and performing failure diagnosis of the electrical component (43) in a case where the vehicle and the external power supply can be electrically coupled by operating the coupling unit (41). As a result, there can be provided a vehicle that can be charged from outside and allows early detection of a failure without reducing a distance that can be traveled, and a method for failure diagnosis of the vehicle.
