  • a charging efficiency computation device that computes a charging efficiency of the driving battery;

    a charging rate computation device that computes a charging rate of the driving battery; and

    a switching device that switches, in response to a request from a user of the vehicle, between a first charging mode in which the charger is controlled based on the charging efficiency to charge the driving battery, and a second charging mode in which the charger is controlled based on the charging rate to charge the driving battery.
