CHARGE MONITORING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A charge monitoring apparatus that is mountable on or connectable to a vehicle which uses electrical power supplied from a battery on the vehicle for traveling, the charge monitoring apparatus monitoring a supply of the electrical power to the battery from an external power supply equipment which is disposed separately from the vehicle, the charge monitoring apparatus, comprising:
- a vehicle ID holding portion that holds vehicle-side identification information which is uniquely allocated to each specific vehicle;
a power-line communicating portion that performs a power line communication with an extravehicular apparatus through a power supply line which supplies the electric power from the external power supply equipment to the battery, the extravehicular apparatus connected to the external power supply equipment;
a vehicle-side information storing portion that stores information produced in the vehicle; and
a communication controlling portion that, in the power line communication, transmits the vehicle-side identification information held in the vehicle ID holding portion to the extravehicular apparatus, and if predetermined condition is satisfied, the communication controlling portion transmits the information stored in the vehicle-side information storing portion to the extravehicular apparatus.
