VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH POWER STORAGE DEVICE AND TEMPERATURE CONTROL METHOD OF POWER STORAGE DEVICE
First Claim
1. A vehicle comprising:
- a power storage device that can be charged and discharged;
a vehicle driving unit receiving electric power supply from said power storage device to drive the vehicle;
a coupling unit coupling the vehicle with an external power supply to charge said power storage device from the outside of the vehicle; and
a control device performing control related to said power storage device, whereinsaid control device determines whether or not a destination is a charging-available place where said power storage device can be charged from the outside of the vehicle and, if said destination is a charging-available place, performs control related to said power storage device so that a temperature of said power storage device becomes a charging-efficient temperature when the vehicle arrives at said destination.

Abstract
A vehicle includes a battery as a power storage device that can be charged and discharged, a booster unit, an inverter, and a motor generator operating as a vehicle driving unit receiving electric power supply from the battery to drive the vehicle, a coupling unit coupling the vehicle with an external power supply for charging the battery from the outside of the vehicle, and a control device performing control related to the battery. The control device determines whether or not a destination is a charging-available place where the battery can be charged from the outside of the vehicle, and if the destination is a charging-available place, performs control related to the battery so that the temperature of the battery is a charging-efficient temperature on arrival at the destination.
