Abstract
An ECU is mounted on a vehicle that is able to carry out external charging for charging an in-vehicle battery with electric power from an outside of the vehicle and external discharging for discharging electric power inside the vehicle to the outside of the vehicle. The ECU sets a control mode of the vehicle to any one of a charging mode for carrying out the external charging, a discharging mode for carrying out the external discharging, and a traveling mode for propelling the vehicle. The ECU determines which one of the charging mode and the discharging mode is given a higher priority in accordance with a state of the vehicle when a user has carried out operation to require the external discharging during the charging mode or when the user has carried out operation to require the external charging during the discharging mode.
